1104. Charles Morris to Gideon White. ''I use this freedom to address you on behalf of a number of hardy Worthy Emigrants who have been and are desirous of Settling in the Interior of Shelburne - on Land long Waste and derelict - and of no intrinsic Value but to the hardy Setler who is content to toil and labour with the Sweat of his Brow - solely for the sake of laying a foundation for his children who from their habits and familiar acquaintance with the Stumps of the trees felld by their Fathers - became attached to the Forest as a home - and lay the foundation of a growing Country - and at length the chearing sound of the Woodmans Axe and the Smoke of his hamlet is heard and seen in Wilds only traversed from the Creation by the Savage or the hunter - With a most anxious desire to see the Town of Shelburne revive - the asylum of Loyalty - and those who made such sacrifices of their Estates and property and commence anew and at length after a lapse of Years see at last a hardy useful sober Race of Men come among them - able and Willing to contend with the Wilderness. I have been useing the best of my poor endeavours to direct the tide of Emigration to your district - in the firm hope that Government will assist the measure by every means in its power and that by Roads of communication thro the good Lands in the interior - and a Settlement of hardy Emigrants Agriculture and Commerce will revive - and to accelerate this measure it was intended that every Person holding Land up the Roseway Clyde or other Rivers - and had not been able to cultivate their Lands as intended and as they were bound by their Grant - should notwithstanding be compensated for any moderate improvement they might have made - by other Lands of larger extent in some other Situation so as to enable Government to preserve an unbroken extended line of Settlement whereby the People - might by the Statute labour and mutual assistance open the Interior and Settle the County to advantage. In a word my dear Sir I have authority to assure you - that if you can be reconciled in Justice to yourself and Family to lend your Aid in the encouragement of the Settlement of these Worthy people I shall never cease in my endeavours to afford you ample compensation - in Lands more Valuable and advantageously Situated. Holograph.

1105. J.W. Johnston to Nathaniel White. He asks for his services for the defendant in the cause of Wilcox vs. Smith at Windsor. "I have no time for electioneering politics…Tupper goes from Halifax with near 300 votes all given by people in this part of the County to whom he was a total stranger. - The Causes as near as I can learn are - Radicalism - Enmity to the different Old Members - The love of Fun - respect for the appearance & deportment of Tupper which certainly are very much in his favor - and indignation at the mode of his reception by Smith. Arch'd for once lost his temper & made a violent & ill judged Phillipic - How the matter will go I am at a loss to say Pryor & Grassie a tye. Had they had a little courage and preserved a little good faith with each other, they both would have succeeded & Albro have gone out - I have not time to explain this, but it is so." Holograph.

1107. Jared Chipman to Gideon White, on various public matters. You will perceive by the Newspapers that I have presented the address to his Excellency the Lieutenant Governor, which he received most graciously and appeared much gratified with our attention on this occasion, - I had an opportunity of seeing him once or twice and was much pleased with his gentlemanly affable deportment - I think he is a man of business, and I hope that both inclination and policy will lead him to cultivate a good understanding with the people and the various authorities of the country and especially with the Assembly -...I am happy to learn Bingay and McKinnon succeeded at Argyle, and by so large a majority. I understand however that there was very warm contest and a good deal of wrangling among the Acadians and the Yarmouth Freeholders. - The zeal and spirit displayed by Shelburn and Argyle will, I trust, put an end to the further attempts of Yarmouth agt. Shelburne.'' Holograph.
