Mrs William George Cox presents her Compliments to the Duke
of Buckingham and Chandos, returns thanks for the interest His
Grace took in writing to British Columbia relative to her sad
case. As it is stated in this year's Directory that her
Husband, from whom she has not heard for months, is now in
receipt of a salary of
nine hundred a year, her Attorney considers that she should have
two hundred
a year, allocated to her, as Mr W.G. Cox was pleased to spend
a large portion of her fortune at Dublin and New York she is now
obliged to do needlework, the object of Mr Cox seems to be to
throw her on the charity of relatives and friends, trusts her
case may meet due consideration as She suffers much.
