"Your letter received just as I am starting for London. I remain there,
and can see Mr. Cameron in town any day. I was in London last week, and
saw Mr. Macdonald. Mr. Cameron was Mr. Malcolm Cameron, a man whose
worth was undoubted.

"Yours, &c.,

"MY DEAR MR. WATKIN,

"It has not been till to-day that I could have given you any answer
respecting the proposed subsidy to the N. W. Transit.

"I think a short verbal communication would be more satisfactory than
explanation by letter.

"Can you call here to-morrow about 2.30, or, if more convenient, at
Thomas' Hotel--between 11 and 1.

"Yours very sincerely,
"NEWCASTLE."
