Letter from S. McCall, Vittoria to Hamilton, 1838
Description
Letter to A. Hamilton at Queenston from S. McCall, P.M, Vittoria. The letter concerns a report that it is believed that no letters are permitted to come from or go into the Old World, and if sealed, are opened at your office. The writer believes this is false, and asks that Hamilton write him back to confirm this. The writer believes that this report may have been put in circulation by McKenzie in the U.S., February 17, 1838. A reply by Hamilton is included. He addresses the issue of letters being opened at this office, but the remainder of the message is largely illegible, n.d. No postmark.
