Abstract
A letter by W.B. Hamilton, Penetanguishene, to Richard Miller, St. Catharines, of Messr. Miller & Boomer. The letter concerns land values and hopes of a railway in the Penetanguishene area and is dated May 25, 1853. Hamilton mentions an enclosed agreement concerning Jacques Parisian [Praisien], one of the Drummond Island Voyageurs who had settled at Penetanguishene. However, the agreement is no longer attached.
Description
The letter was likely written by William Basil Hamilton, a Penetanguishene fur trader and Collingwood pioneer. He was born in England but came to Canada in 1829, where he became involved with the lumber business.
Miller & Boomer was a partnership of attorneys and insurance agents with offices at Niagara and St. Catharines.
