This I trust will complete the remainder of the enormous drafts required from us. I know not how far our hope may be realised, but if Talent, Industry & Nerve can do any thing for us our chance is a good one. It is to be regretted however that the period of trial is so short. A Committee consisting of A.F. McIntosh, my brother Matthew & myself has been formed to investigate the mode of carrying on the Courier concern & to see what saving may be made without injury...”, 1 sie 4to., Stamford Street, 15th November
