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.

The letter is handwritten in black ink on white linen paper that is watermarked "Standard, Pure Linen." The letter is transcribed as follows: "19th April 1901 Mr. Harry T. Dunbar Port Colborne Dear Sir I wired you last evening asking if you would give a 30% option on your American Abbey Stock at $85 for a $100 share and received yours in reply. I have taken your stock over to Quebec Bank here to have it forwarded to their agency in Thorold to have it endorsed by your firm before a witness which please do. You better phone to Thorold on Monday or Tuesday so see if it has arrived as it will go by express. A party here is purchasing a heck of it and Mann Simpson and myself have all put in at $85. You will still hold scrip for $3250.00 in the English Co. which is a bonus of 50% on the Am. [American] Co. This scrip will be sent to you within one month. We are not sure that this deal will go thru but if it does I think it is letting the crowd out easily. Yours truly, W. G. Turner"
