Envelope: Petition of Bowley Arnold, Rec. 19 Augt. 1800. Recommended for 200 A. on Yonge Street. J Emsley. No. 239 24 Aug 1802.
Note: Both his petition & certificate are in the handwriting of Uncle John Willson. John's handwriting is rushed & messy, has more spelling errors &, unusually, downward slopping (unhappy). No doubt John was still agitated because a few weeks previously John Willson has just given up his lease on the King's Mill on the Humber. It appears Bowley Arnold likely meet Uncle J. Willson at his other property on north Yonge Street. - P J Ahlberg 2012.
