Biographical history

James Douglas Prentice was a ranch manager with Western Canadian Ranching and an MLA for Lillooet East.

Custodial history

Scope and content

Letter from Theodore Davie, May 24, 1894, replying to a letter from Prentice stating that Davie had threatened to withhold money set aside in the estimates to reimburse the Western Canadian Ranching Company for road building if Prentice ran as an opposition candidate. Davie denies the accusation but expresses surprise that Prentice should ally himself with a group tending towards "Socialism and communism", and points out that the money had been granted because the government thought of Prentice as a deserving friend.

Presented by Alison Prentice, Toronto, per the editors, BC Historical News, 1980.
