Harcourt, Michael, Michael Harcourt Letter (23 Feb 1859). Surety: 3. “House of Assembly, Wednesday Afternoon, Feb 23rd 1859, Dear Ellen, I sent you a hurried note the other day, stating that I might not go home on Saturday unless that something were wrong there. I now think that I will not go & you need not send John to Hamilton to meet me. You will have time enough to write me if you want me home & if anything be wrong & I will go, but you must write at once when this reaches you, & should you write me to go home then you must send John to meet me. I am quite well, but have a great many letters to answer, & other writing to do which I cannot get time to do till Saturday, this will keep me busy during that day. I hope that yourself & the children are quite well. I have been expecting a letter every day, but received none since I left last time. Mark, Robert write often. I would like to hear from you two or three times a week at least. I suppose the boys are attending school & I hope conducting themselves [nobly] & well. I know Freddy is a good boy. Has John finished his “sequel”? Last Sunday was cold & boisterous, but since that day the weather has been the finest & even fair in February, warm enough to go without an overcoat. Yours ever, Michael.”

Harcourt, Michael, Michael Harcourt Letter (4 Apr 1859). Surety: 4. “Toronto Monday, Apl 4th 1859, Dear Elen, I received this moment, letters from Robert, William & Richard respectively from all of which I am grieved to learn that you are no better than when I left. Dr Davis expected that a few days would set you alright, but it would seem he was mistaken. If Doctor Davis cannot help you, you had better send for Dr [McLeargard] for it is too bad that you should remain in as miserable condition as you were in when I left. I hope however that this will find you better. I was pleased to hear from William & Richard but haven’t time to answer their letters. I will try and get the book that William wants before I go home next. Let Robert write every day telling me how you are in health, if nothing else. I have the ”[.]”. Why does Robert put postage stamps on it? There is no necessity for doing so. It would come free. I will look for a letter daily. Yours as ever. Michael.”

Harcourt, Michael, Michael Harcourt Letter (18 Apr 1859). Surety: 4. “House of Assembly, Monday morning, Apl 18th 1859, Dear Elen, from letters received during last week from Robert and Dr Davis, I am pleased to learn that you are now quite better, if not wholly recovered. I hope you will be careful and not allow yourself to fall with a relapse, altho’ it might be in a mitigated form. I am quite tired of being here and most anxious to get home. The House will continue to sit into the first week of May, & will only adjourn over Good Friday, that day being a statutory holiday. I mean to leave here on Thursday afternoon at 4 o’clock & will be in Hamilton about 6 o’clock. Let John meet me at Beatty’s & have his horse fed & ready to start the moment I get up. If the roads are good he can take the Buggy. If bad he had better get a light wagon & take two horses. We can be home between 9&10 o’clock at night. I must return here on Monday morning. Tell Freddy that Pa’ will be home on Thursday night. Yours as ever. Michael.”
