Duke of Wellington- Autograph Letter, Signed: 4pp, 4to. 'London Dec. 4, 1832, My dear Sir, I received your letter & am much obliged by the confidence you repose in me. It is impossible for any man to form a just opinion of what will be the result of the measures of the two last years. However it is my opinion that such a democratic influence has been established over the legislature, as to render the ordinary operations to government difficult, & the protection of the institutions of the country & its property by the government as nearly impracticable, and as such must change its policy domestic as well as foreign, I confess that I should not be surprised, indeed I expect, that the colonies will be separated from the mother country as the first consequence of the general weakness which must result from what has been done. Your profession in Ireland has suffered much already- it will, I fear, suffer much more. The question however now is, whether under the best possible circumstances to remove yourself and family to Canada would afford you & them relief from the difficulties under which you are labouring...' continues with one full page, followed by a third: 'You are a minister of the word of God in the Church of England- .... Can you abandon your post in a moment of crisis & danger merely for worldly objects?...Remember me to Mrs.----- & believe me to be Your most sincerely & affects, Wellington' Folded a number of times and with tears
