Ginny,
My interest being with Bill Johnston and the events in "Upper Canada", I am
sure you will understand and forgive for the spelling error. Regardless,
hope you enjoyed the text.

Very , very interesting, Jim! Thank you. My French patriotes ancestors
are, however, subliminally urging me to make a correction: their leader
was
Louis-Joseph PAPINEAU, and a fine firebrand he was! Try the name
on
google, and you will have fun.
Kindest regards to all,
Ginny Crawford
