Stamford, 28th June, 1815

Madam – The Province of Nova Scotia having voted the sum of £2500 for the relief of sufferers on the Niagara frontier from the conflagration of their houses by the enemy, the trustees appointed by the President, Sir Gordon Drummond to distribute the fund, have deposited in the hands of Thos. Dickson, Esq., of Queenston, the sum of £63 12s 8 1-2d, to be paid to your receipt on demand. They have done this on the supposition that such a sum might be acceptable although no application to share in this benevolence has been made on your behalf. Should you decline to accept the sum, the Trustees request that you would signify your pleasure to MR. Dickson as early as possible so that it may be divided amongst others,

Thos. Scott

Wm. Dummer Powell

John Strachan.

Mrs. Major Campbell,

Windsor,

Nova Scotia
