Letter from Chief Secretary Murdoch to Hertel de Rouville, dated Government House, Montreal, 20 Decr. 1840. Letter rejects Hertel de Rouville's proposals that he be furnished with an authenticated certificate of the award granted by the Commissioners with the promise that he shall be paid as soon as possible, or that he be compensated from the military chest, since the government had indicated that it was impossible to pay the indemnity out of the funds of the province.
With enveloped bearing the seal of the Chief Secretary's Department, Lower Canada.
