only to say that if my assistance could be in any way serviceable in the promotion of so humane and important an object as either ameliorating the evils or elevating the condition of the aborigines of our County I shall be happy to give it.

From Hon. Sir

To Mr. Cruickshanks

Halifax 13 Dec. 1842.

Sir
The bearer of this, Alex. Thomas, tells me that he lives within a few miles of your School and that he has two or three children fit to be educated. If you are disposed to instruct them and will make a class, I will pay for their schooling on your sending me their copy books and a Certificate of attendance from persons I know.
Yours &c
Jos. Howe.

Mr Cruickshanks
