Humble address of His Excellency’s most loyal and devoted subjects, the English settlers of Stanley, to the Lieutenant-Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the province of New Brunswick. – [1837]. – 4 pp. of textual records. This address, signed by Robert Waugh, Joseph Forss, and D. Brewer, gives a brief history of Stanley’s founding and the settlers’ arrival. Among other requests, the settlers ask that the roads already opened up and bridged between Stanley and the Southwest Miramichi River (18 miles), be turnpiked and that “this season” the road from Stanley to Woodstock (39 miles) be opened up and bridged “to make it practicable for winter Travelling”.

Address to the governor, directors, and shareholders of the N.B. and N.S. Land Company on the current state of affairs from the English settlers at Stanley. – 26 July 1837. – 4 pp. of textual records. This address, signed by Robert Waugh, deputy chairman, states that, owing to Captain Hayne’s arrival, the settlers have learned “that the arrangements by which they were induced to come to this Country by the Acting Agents in February 1836 have been completely overthrown by the Directors of 1837”.
