"18th Feby. 1909
Messrs. Dunbar & Sullivan Dredging Co.
644 Prudential Building
Buffalo, N.Y.
Dear Sirs
Yours of 16th inst. [instant] enquiring about your transactions in Abbey Salt recd.
You invested $6500.00 in this Co. and part of the scrip was given to you by the Abbey Co.
I now enclose you Scrip No. 00846 for 95 shares of £10 Stg. [Sterling] each or = $4750.00. This scrip was left in my charge by Mr. F. E. Dunbar ('Alley") to sell if a good chance offered, but unfortunately no such chance presented itself. There was a lot of juggling with Abbey stock.
1st A Canadian Co. was formed, then
2nd An American Co. then
3rd The English Co. took over the Canadian and I think the American Co. also and gave stock pro rata to these shareholders in the English Co.
I hope this will give you the necessary information and the scrip enclosed will be what you are lacking.
Give my best regards to Harry & Alley and acknowledge receipt of this.
Yours truly,
W. G. Turner"
