My work on the Duke of Kent would have been
published ere this, but I am awaiting the correspondence promised me
by Lord B - - addressed to Lord L - - , and that also to Sir H - -
Douglas, formerly Lieutenant-Governor of - - . Your suggestion will
not be lost sight of. Maple Leaves have been fully culled for
information concerning the Prince. Holland Farm and the Duke at
Montmorenci give a correct picture of life in Quebec in 1791 -
information unknown to Rev. Mr. Neale in 1850.
If not too much trouble, could you let me know whether these works, of
which I enclose a list, mention the Duke in Canada, for the British
Museum does not possess these publications, which obliges me to seek
information from such a person as yourself, who is versed in Canadian
affairs. I am anxious to give a correct account of the Duke in Canada.
This period of his life has escaped all the biographers of the Prince,
Philippart and Neale, &c. If I should meet any striking incident
relative to Canadian affairs, I shall forward it to your address." -
