532 ) Red River Settlement correspondence of four 1842-44 entire folded letters to ReverendJohn Smithurst, missionary to the remote western community of Red River Settlement atNetley Creek where it enters the Red River in Manitoba, just north of what is nowWinnipeg, John Smithurst trained in England where he was a friend and possible suitorof Florence Nightingale who encouraged him to become a missionary in Canada, he cameto the Americas in the late 1830s and was assigned to Red River in 1840, these letters arefrom various locations in Ontario and Quebec, the earliest being from London (Ontario)in 1842, others in 1844 from Lachere, Cumberland Station and Sault de St. Marie, theletters lack postal markings because these were privately carried into this remote westernregion where there was no formal mail service, these were carried often by canoe (referredto in one of the letters) at certain times of the year by fur companies that travelled intothat region, the letters have some interesting news about what was going on in civilizationin England, Canada and the United States, one notes the election of James Polk asPresident of the United States, condition is clean and attractive, very fine; an interestingand scarce piece of early Canadian western history.
