Dear Mr Pauline:

By the time this will have reached you the present Provincial Government will have nearly passed out of existence.  I presume that you will see the papers and get the news in that way.

Our defeat was entirely unexpected and I rather gather that it was due to a number of matters and not to anything in particular. I think the desire for a change was probably paramount in the minds of the electors, however the party is not discredited as we have left a good record during the last twelve years.

I do not know what the actions of the new government will be towards the present holders of official positions but I trust that yours will not suffer in consequence.

With kindest personal regards, I remain

Yours faithfully,

JD MacLean
