citizen and country man Cdn Scott Terry
has been elected Superintendant of Public
Instruction By the Law creating this office
he is required to give a Bond in the sum
of one hundred thousand dollars with

I doubt not Cdn Terrys ability to give
such Bond- but it is my duty to approve
the Bond and as I am not acquainted
with your citizens I must rely on my
friends for that information which I
do not possess

I have said to Cdn Terry that he had
best submit the Bond to your appro-
val I have therefore to request that
you will do me the kindness to ?
the Bond and write to me your openess
of the same In order that I may discharge
my duty to the County Very Respectfully
your obd servant
