Handwritten and signed letter from Wilfrid Laurier to Ulric Barthe on January 8, 1890.
Notes
This letter is one of a series written by Wilfrid Laurier to journalist Ulric Barthe between January 1889 and January 1891. Much of the correspondence relates to Barthe's request for copies of speeches delivered by Laurier in order to be published. Barthe's compilation, "Wilfrid Laurier à la tribune" ("Wilfrid Laurier on the platform") was published in 1890.

Wilfrid Laurier (1841-1919) was Canada's eighth Prime Minister, holding office 1896-1911. Laurier was born in St. Lin, Quebec. He received a law degree from McGill University in 1864, and practiced law in Montreal and Arthabaskville from 1864-1896. Wilfrid Laurier was Liberal party leader from 1887 until his death in 1919.

LAURIER, LAVERGNE & COTÉ

AVOCATS & Etc.

HON. W. LAURIER J. LAVERGNE P.H. COTÉ

Arthabaskaville, 8 janvier 1890

Cher Mr. Barthe,

J’ai votre dernière. Je vous renvoie sous pli les deux discours que vous m’y adressez. Gardez vous cependant de les publier : ils ne valent pas la reproduction.

Je vous adresse aussi trois manuscrits 1° discours 11 avril 1878 (question Letellier) 2° discours 12

(Page 2)

mars 1879 même script, 3° 15 mars 1880 mort de Mr. Holton.

Le deuxième celui de 1879 ne demande pas beaucoup de corrections, mais celui de 1878 est dans une condition déplorable. Il est manifeste que le sténographe a été d’un laconisme! Il n’y a rien à faire à cela, mais soignez la traduction.

Bien à vous,

Wilfrid Laurier.
