Letter reading "Winnipeg 22nd April 1890 - Angus McKay Esq H.B.C. Fort Pitt NWT - Dear Sir, Some years ago Norbert Adam son of Baptiste Adam and Marie Roger of St Francois Xavier sold the north-east quarter north half of south east quarter of section 12 tp 12 Range 4 west in this Province to one Edwin Allen. The title has passed to a Mortgage of Allens or to Allen subject to a mortgage. It appears Adam was not of proper age when he made the deed to Allen and I am acting for the mortgages and are very anxious to get a conformatory[?] deed to Allen. I have been advised by some Hudson Bay men here to write you and I take the liberty of doing so. I enclose a deed which I desire you to have Adam sign. I have been informed that Adam is or was from Swift Current to Pit freighting and that he left about 7 or 8th. I wired to a party in Edmonton and tried to get him there but have not yet heard with what success. [?] you can find him. 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. I am very anxious to get the matter straightened up and you are at liberty to pay Adam up to $25 or $50 rather than not succeed. If you send deed to Captain Adams here of H.B.C. I will pay him amount of your charges and [?] paid out by you. Kindly inquire from Adam whether he gave a deed at Battleford or not. If he did I would not of course want a second one. Please do what you can for me and advise me either by wire or letter of results. I remain Yours truly, John Graham, Barrister Winnipeg"

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."
