About This Item
New Glasgow, Nova Scotia. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1941. Non-Book. On offer is a handwritten and signed letter by notable Canadian, George G. Patterson (1864-1951) on his personal letterhead. In this letter, which is dated December 4, 1941 in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, Patterson writes to "My dear Ross". Patterson comments on his "little book" which he has sent to Ross separately. Patterson hopes that Ross and his "Toronto friends" will be interested in it. He then says that, "On the other hand I feel sure Chief Justice Robertson if ever sees it will appreciate the latter part at any rate of the history of the 84th or Royal Highland Emigrants." Finally, Patterson inquires as to the wellbeing of Ross' "soldier boys", likely his sons who are deployed in WW2. It is clear from the way in which Patterson writes that he and Ross are very close friends. BIO NOTES: George Geddie Patterson was a barrister, teacher, judge, historian and author. He was born in 1864 at Greenhill, Pictou County, the son of the Rev. George Patterson and Margaret McDonald.
