1168 PAPERS RELATING TO WESTERN NEW- YORK.

%»The following note from the Hon: John Greig to T. Romeyn Beck Esq. M. D. indicating the author of the foregoing Tract, is annexed to the copy in the State Library.

" Canandaigua 29, October 1846. My dear Sir,

I am favoured with your letter of the 27, instant -- I very well remember the Pamphlet on the " Settlement of the Genesee Country " to which you refer, and my own recollection of it, and of the Author of it, is fortified by that of Judge Howell, to whom I have shewn your letter.

It was written by Capt. Charles Williamson, who came to this country as the Agent of Sir W"" Pulteney and Governor Hornby, for the settlement of their Lands in the Western part of the State of New-York, in the year 1792. He remained as their Agent until the year 1802, when he returned to Europe. He afterwards made occasional visits to this Country, until the year 1807, when he died of the yellow fever while on a mission from the British Governmeivt to the Havanna.

Believe me with much regard

Yours Sincerely.
