‎[Province of Canada – 19th Century – English Immigration] Senkler, Edmund J‎

‎Letters from Edmund John Senkler Describing Life In 1840s Canada‎

‎Quebec City and Brockton Canada 1847. Four letters approximately sixteen total pages: four 8 x 12.5 inches twelve 8 x 10 inches and smaller. Two letters dated 1846 one 1847 missing final pages and one without date missing initial and final pages. Very good. Edmund John Senkler 1802–1872 was born in Norfolk England educated at Cambridge and in 1827 ordained as an Anglican minister. Senkler his wife Eleanor and their children immigrated to Canada in 1843 to live in Quebec City Canada East now the province of Quebec. They then moved to Sorel also known as William Henry and finally to Brockville near Kingston Canada West now Ontario.<br /> <br /> Offered here is a set of four letters from Senkler to his friend G. W. Chad back in Norfolk describing the activities of Senkler and his family as they settle into life in Canada. The Senklers had first moved to Quebec City but did not enjoy their time “in that pestiferous cloaca . over which the destroying angel seems evermore to hover with his drawn sword in his hand†May 8 1846. On planning to leave the Bishop of Montreal offers Senkler an unpaid position in “Coteau du Lac a lonely place 40 or 50 miles above Montreal†whose previous missionary had “been enjoying for many years a handsome salary†and was now “on his return to England.†Senkler turns down this meager offer and takes his family to Sorel.<br /> <br /> The move is providential as “Not fewer than 27 persons with whom we had some acquaintance have died there Quebec City since we left†September 10 1846. The family’s acquaintances apparently died in a theater fire in Quebec City—probably the St. Louise Theater—which seemed to have turned into a crowd crush:<br /> <br /> “I knew some of the sufferers: some were very pious people . What shocked the feelings of all who witnessed the scene with some of whom I have conversed was that the misery was so easily approachable and yet so utterly beyond relief. . In the case of poor Mr. Scott mentioned in all the papers particularly the Illustrated London News of July 18 where there is a view of the place his brother could not only see him but talk with him – caress him petting his face weeping over him while the poor suffering man commended his wife family to his care; and yet no force could drag out his limbs from the entangled mass of human beings. They did pull at him until they pulled the ball of his shoulder out of the socket and he begged to be allowed to die.â€<br /> <br /> By 1847 the family had sold their property in Sorel and moved west to Brockville in what is now Ontario. The family are noticing the effects of England’s Panic of 1847:<br /> <br /> “The great scarcity of money now felt in England will very shortly be felt here. The produce sent from hence home has not been paid for. Consequently our merchants must pay for the manufactures c. sent out by bills of exchange which must be in so much greater demand therefore fetch a higher premium.†December 8 1847<br /> <br /> And around the same time an epidemic of typhus breaks out in Canada from Irish immigrants fleeing the famine:<br /> <br /> “Probably you have learned from the papers what misery the unfortunate Irish emigrants have brought and are likely yet to bring to this country. They have spread a pestilence through the city of Montreal. Grosse Isle the quarantine station below Quebec has been crowded with fever patients to an alarming extent. . The emigrants as they recover are forwarded by the steam-boats from Grosse Isle to Montreal without touching at Quebec where they are received in miserable wooden sheds. Many suffer a relapse; others first shew symptoms of fever when there; and spread the infection though the town by begging. You can imagine what hotbeds of infection those steam-boats must be. Last week 3 passed Sorel without touching at the port one had 1000 emigrants on board the other two about 800 500 respectively. . These unhappy people are forwarded to their destination in the Western Country. For many of them doubtless that destination will be an untimely grave in a strange place.†No Date.<br /> <br /> Nonetheless the Senkler family happily settles in the town of Brockville with “an orchard garden with plenty of pasture for a couple of cows and horses with ground for growing all the vegetables required for the family†December 8 1847. The land is rapidly developing with land prices increasing and a telegraph line from Toronto to Quebec running through it – which to Senkler is “surprising in a country in which 60 years ago there was only an Indian’s hunting track for hundreds of miles.â€<br /> <br /> Overall the letters provide an intimate look at life for settlers in Canada in the middle period of its rule by the British. unknown‎

‎[New York City – Early Republic Era – English Immigration] Bakewell, A; Bakewell, William; Unknown Author‎

‎Three Letters from English Immigrants in Early Republic Era New York City Discussing Class Differences the 1807 Embargo Houses that “might be made delightful if the inhabitants had any taste†and the Many Individuals Enslaved by Local Merchants‎

‎New York and likely Connecticut 1809. Three letters 1795 1795 and 1809 totalling approximately eleven pages; the larger two letters measuring approximately 7 ¾ x 12 ¼ inches and the smaller 1809 approximately 7 ¾ x 9 ½ inches. 1809 letter Near Fine; earlier letters having some damage especially at folds and margins intersecting with text very good plus. Overall excellent. Three letters from English immigrants to the United States sent to their cousin “Miss Gifford†in Duffield Derbyshire. The earliest letter from A. Bakewell describes a stroll along the Battery and compares the classes of people in the two countries:<br /> <br /> “My son Jon’s favorite walk as well as mine is the battery it is a delightful it commands a very fine view of all the ships that come up to this harbour the opposite shores of Long Island Governors Island & Staten Island which are very fertile one very small Island in the water with a number of small boats & barges which are generally sailing is extremely pleasant the Idea that sometime or other I may see the ship arrive which will contain my beloved Husband renders it peculiarly interesting to me . the more I see of this country the more I like it; the lower classes of people are much better informed & from the high price of wages enabled to live more comfortably than in England it is very uncommon to see a beggar here: one very great inconvenience is the badness of servants they are ten thousand times worse than in England . I could get some that is decent here the manner of the ladies here is much more vulgar than the women in England & they were generally very ignorant there are however some exceptions .†February 1795<br /> <br /> The writer’s husband is William Bakewell who writes to Miss Gifford in 1809 from what is probably Tolland Connecticut which he renders as “Tolland Ford†reporting on the state of the economy and the 1807 Embargo Act:<br /> <br /> “I fear the intercourse between this country & England will be stopped for a time . during the continuation of this Embargo which has caused a total stagnation of business . I have since seen Mr Kinder a friend of my Brother’s & who for some time his home being in the country boarded with my Brother’s family in New York. He assures me that with respect to everything he observed there was as much economy as ever compatible with decency & that their table in particular was furnished in a more frugal stile than that of any Merchants he was acquainted with. . I hope to hear from you as frequently as is practicable while the communication is between the two countries for this government will I expect pass a law to stop the intercourse with both England & France until they cease to capture American vessels. . My son Thomas is gone to NYK to wind up his adventure to New Orleans. He had 5000 dollars in silver with him. In the present uncertain state of mercantile affairs it is doubtful whether Mr Kinder will like to make any further adventure.†January 1809<br /> <br /> Lastly a 1796 letter from another cousin a sister of “A.†opens by relating her arrival to New York City during an outbreak of yellow fever:<br /> <br /> “the worst of all was as soon as we missing land which we had so often wish’d to see the Pilot came on Board & told us of the fever being so bad at N York & that every Body that could had left it. I did not know in what situation I should find my Brother & his family or whether I should find them at all but when we came to Anchor a Boy came on board & told us my Brother was at Philadelphia . my sister & Thomas was at long Island just missing the East river. . we staid a fortnight at the enormous expence of 30 Dollars a week for our family we then came to New York the sickness being rather abated we could not get a House or part of one on long Island they being all engag’d at very high prices to people who had fled from New York & for miles round there was not a room to be had. We had thought of going to Albany but there was so many people gone with goods that we suposed the Market was full my Brother was not return’d we at last took this House at a very great rent till May it being a very Healthy situation we came here the following week & have been here ever since.â€<br /> <br /> The yellow fever epidemic hit New York City in 1795 and surged several times prompting the city to finally create a Board of Health in 1805. This is not the author’s only complaint about New York as compared to England:<br /> <br /> “the Country what I have seen of it is not so pleasant as England there being no hedges all posts & rail fences appears strange to us there are a many very good houses 1 2 & 3 miles round this city which are very pleasant they are built of wood & painted white which looks very pretty & might be made delightful if the inhabitants had any taste for gardening but that the Americans & Dutch have no notion of I could be very comfortable at New York if we was in a way of getting a good deal but we have been spending a great deal and getting but little indeed we have sold most of our goods but the scarcety of cash occation’d by the Fall trade being spoilt with the Fever oblig’d every body to take Bills at a longer date than is usual so that we have rec’d very little there is a vast many English here I have met with some very agreeable acquaintances which I shall be sorry to leave .†March 1796<br /> <br /> She also comments that “there is many Blacks here some of the Merchants keep 8 or 10 of them & I believe they are the best servantsâ€. Though New York City had been home to a large community of freed African Americans following the British Army’s 1779 Philipsburg Proclamation most of them had been resettled in Nova Scotia after the Revolutionary War. The author was more likely observing enslaved people as New York did not pass its gradual abolition law until 1799 and emancipation was not completed until 1827.<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of immigration to early republic New York City. unknown‎
