An 1866 insurance document of the Edinburgh Life Insurance Office in Toronto, Ontario. It represents a payment of 28 pounds from Thomas Galt of that city. Galt was born in London, England in 1815 emigrating to Canada at 18 years of age. He was employed by the Canada Land Company but soon began preparing to become a lawyer. He was associated with insurance companies as their solicitor hence possibly explaining this document. An interesting specimen relating to early Canadian business.
