_Lieut.-General Lord Aylmer, Governor-General of British North America,
to J. Savery Brock, Esq_.

SOREL, Lower Canada, August 23, 1834.

I received yesterday your letter of the 19th March.... The
sight of your handwriting reminded me of old times, and brought
back the recollection of scenes which almost appear to have
taken place in another state of existence.... I made a tour in
Upper Canada last summer, and visited with a feeling of love
and reverence the monument at Queenstown, erected to the memory
of one who was as brave as he was good, and a better man never
breathed; to have enjoyed his friendship and good opinion, is
to me a source of pride and satisfaction.

Yours, my dear Savery, very sincerely,

AYLMER.
