Description:

One 2-page letter from W. G. Turner of the Mount Royal Park Incline Railway Co. of Montreal, to Messrs. Dunbar & Sullivan Dredging Co., of Buffalo. The letter is handwritten in black ink on white linen paper that is watermarked "Superfine Linen Record." The letter is transcribed as follows: "18th Feby. 1909 Messrs. Dunbar & Sullivan Dredging Co. 644 Prudential Building Buffalo, N.Y. Dear Sirs Yours of 16th inst. [instant] enquiring about your transactions in Abbey Salt recd. You invested $6500.00 in this Co. and part of the scrip was given to you by the Abbey Co. I now enclose you Scrip No. 00846 for 95 shares of £10 Stg. [Sterling] each or = $4750.00. This scrip was left in my charge by Mr. F. E. Dunbar ('Alley") to sell if a good chance offered, but unfortunately no such chance presented itself. There was a lot of juggling with Abbey stock. 1st A Canadian Co. was formed, then 2nd An American Co. then 3rd The English Co. took over the Canadian and I think the American Co. also and gave stock pro rata to these shareholders in the English Co. I hope this will give you the necessary information and the scrip enclosed will be what you are lacking. Give my best regards to Harry & Alley and acknowledge receipt of this. Yours truly, W. G. Turner"
