Boghead 25th Oct. 1855
Sir,
I beg to thank you for
your attention in writing to me regarding
the name of the new village upon
my property. The fact is, it was for some
weeks called Durhamville, but
the colliers not being French Scholars
so shocked the ears of the more polished
inhabitants of the place by converting
the ville into vile that I have altered the
name from Durhamville
into Durhamtoun.
I am
Sir
Your obedt. [Obedient] Servant
Thomas Durham Weir. |
