Dear McQuesten,

Thanks for your kind note which I appreciate much. I had not forgotten you in connection with the staff of Mr. Willison's new journal. In the meantime we have the News staff to consider, & such additions as have been made are due, in each case, to special requirements. I shall not forget you, rest assured, & later on as vacancies occur -- and they always do, -- we may be able to offer you something you could accept. I still think an experience at Ottawa a valuable part in your equipment & a position on the Journal or Citizen staffs would be a good way to acquire it. Wishing you all the good things of Christmas and New Year's, I am,

Yours very sincerely

A. H. U. Colquhoun
