See p. p. 33- * Mr. Walton was in London when father went there in 1839, and I think had been pur-chasing agent in England for my grandfather Stokes. January I, 1841, Shapter and Walton sold out to Stokes. The disturbed conditions ofbusiness in America and in England and the violent political discussions regarding the latepanic of 1837-38, as well as the United States and Canadian boundary question, made thisa difficult time to establish a new business between England and America. See p. 128. September 19, 1839, 91 Maiden Lane was leased to Stokes, Shapter & Walton to D243.
