FROM THE BERBICE GAZETTE. [heading]
To the Editor - Sir,
I request the favour of you to insert in your next Publication the following extract of a letter which I had the honour of receiving a few days ago from His Excellency Brigadier General Hislop, dated Trinidad, March 15, 1807. –
----- [a spacer]
I have the pleasure to inform you that, by the Convoy recently arrived, I received the Service of Plate which the Governor and Inhabitants of Berbice were pleased to present to me, as a testimony of their regard and approbation. The workmanship is extremely elegant, and the inscription on the several pieces highly flattering and gratifying to me, which to my feelings constitute their real and highest value.
I beg you will have the goodness to express these my sentiments when you may happen to go to Berbice.
----- [a spacer]
Through the medium of your Paper, therefore, I beg leave to communicate the above to the Inhabitants of Berbice, who will, no doubt, be pleased to find that their intentions have been so satisfactorily carried into effect by his late Excellency Governor Van Batenburg, to whom the same was entrusted, and so handsomely acknowledged by their justly and highly esteemed Ex-Commandant Brigadier-General Hislop
I am, Sir, your most obedient Servant,
Colin Macrae.
