Description:

One letter from W. G. Turner of McNamee & Mann, Contractors, Montreal, to Harry T. Dunbar, Port Colborne. 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"
