Isaac, and to my being in the church.
I mention these particulars, that you may fully judge of the
kindness of all. After the service, three fine young farmers
came up to me and wished to shake hands, having been at
Detroit and Queenstown. Nothing could exceed their marks of
attachment. Every body, they said, connected with Isaac would
always be seen with pleasure: they were, like myself, most
sensibly affected.

I hear of such misconduct on the part of most of the generals,
of such negligence that was occasioned by it on the part of
other officers, that it is only surprising we retained the
country. Every general required so much urging to permit an
attack, that it was really a favor for any enterprising
officer, who grieved that nothing was done, to be allowed a
handful of men to defeat the enemy with. Poor York! how
miserably defended; but I shall not enter into particulars, as
no interest is now entertained for these affairs.

MONTREAL, October 24.

I have had 7,000 acres granted in East and West Flamborough,
at the head of Lake Ontario, about twelve miles from its
margin; this is the best of our land, but not a house within
eight or nine miles of it; 1,200 acres in Brock township, on
Lake Simcoe; 3,000 acres in Monaghan, on the Rice Lake; and
800 acres in Murray, on Lake Ontario.

The principal gentlemen of this place have formed a committee
of eight persons, and waited on me to fix a day to dine with
them. Tuesday is named. So very civil is every one, that I am
quite overcome with their politeness. Colonel M'Bean, of the
99th, and all his officers, have also called. Isaac's memory
is so cherished--all loved him sincerely. At Quebec, I dined
with Sir John Sherbrooke, &c, visited the falls of
Montmorenci, &c, and was much pleased with my trip there.

_Extract from the Montreal Herald of November_ 1, 1817.

On Tuesday, the 28th ultimo, the principal inhabitants of
Montreal gave a public dinner at the Mansion House, to John
Savery Brock, Esq., of the island of Guernsey, as a tribute of
respect justly due to the memory of his late brother, the
deceased Major-General Sir Isaac Brock.

Sir John Johnson, Bart., took the chair at six o'clock,
supported by Messrs. Forsyth and St. Dizier, vice-presidents,
who conducted the arrangements of the table in a manne
