Letter from Chief Secretary Murdoch to Hertel de Rouville, dated Montreal, 4th Mar. 1840. Letter concerns his application for indemnity for losses during the rebellions, stating that "His Excellency feels himself precluded from paying the amounts awarded by the Commissioners. His Excellency has great satisfaction however in stating that the Report of the Commissioners entirely relieves you from any imputation of disloyalty, and on the contrary, recognizes in distinct terms the services rendered by you to Her Majesty's Troops."
With envelope bearing the seal of the Civil Secretary's Department, Lower Canada.
