He was hurt quite enough, but not as bad as represented. Charles Brown is about to open a retail store, and employs Mr. Badkin, a sensible and businesslike man for that purpose. Brown also talk of putting up his saw Mill. (It is said by Standish, that our R.M. is positively about to resign very shortly. An old tale too often told to be relied on. Standish also volunteered an opinion that you would receive the appointment.) (Mr. William King, and young Hunter, arrived here on Saturday evening last.) It is past 10 o'clock, and Captain King is not in. I have not heard any news. Yours sincerely (Signed) H. Halse. Just received the enclosures. To:- D. McLean Esq.
