This letter shows the contemporary system of appointment in the colonial service in action. Amyot has received a letter from Bishop Mountain, written at Ryland's instigation, recommending the latter's son for the position of deputy to Amyot, who explains that he has already offered the position to his own younger brother.

A short letter, in which Amyot congratulates Ryland on his handling of a political crisis in Canada, and discussed British politics.

Amyot deals here largely with personal matters, and especially with negotiations about his salary.

Amyot thanks Ryland for his kindness to friends travelling in America, and mentions a Court Martial, delayed by Sir James Yeo's departure for Africa; also Admiral Byng's meeting with Bonaparte on the Bellerophon.

A Mr. Godon wishes to make inquiries of Ryland, who is in London, on the subject of the Executive Council of Lower Canada, if Ryland will call on Amyot.
