I desire that you will make an effort to get the deed signed and I will pay you for your trouble and pay you whatever you may have to give to Adam.

Title: Letter to Angus McKay from D. Burke Simpson:
Institution: Univesity Library, University of Saskatchewan
Description: Typed copy of letter reading "D. Burke Simpson, Barrister, Attorney, Solicitor, Etc. Solicitor for The Ontario Bank, Bowmanville, The Dominion Organ & Piano Company. Bowmanville, March 2nd 1886. Dear Sir / re Simpson Estate. I have yours of February 12th. I well know that Mr. and Mrs. Mann are in the position and circumstance you mention, and no one wishes to be kinder to them and assist them more than I do. I have known Mr. Mann as long as a can remember anything and I don't think that he will venture to say that my family ever lost an opportunity of showing their kindness to his family, or that I personally was ever anything but friendly to him. In the matter of his debt however, that we wish to get judgement for so as to hold it, he cannot say, I am sure, that he treated my family fairly even when he was in a position well able to liquidate it; but even in this view I am not disposed to do anything which would oppress him, but I want the debt in the form of a judgement, so that it may not become barred by the statute of Limitations, and if good luck ever does come to him with the turn of the wheel he can pay the sum due. I wrote him some time ago saying that possibly he could pay us a small rate of interested and by and by if he got into better circumstances he could pay the principal. Does your Stipendiary Magistrate ever go to Fort Pitt, and if so will you give me his name and address? and much oblige, Yours truly, D. Burke Simpson - Angus McKay Esq. Fort Pitt, N.W.T."
