Finlay était député-maître général des postes en Amérique depuis 1784.
«Let me once more repeat, disait-il, that Sir Guy Carleton shall have no cause to be displeased with me; my duty is to be with government; it is every honest man's business to assist the ruling powers, far more a well meaning Councillor»--Lettre de H. Finlay au gouverneur Skene, 8 août, 1785. «Letters which I wrote to Sir Guy Carleton, in which I stated my conjecture touching the cause of his displeasure and expressed my sorrow for having unintentionally offended His Excellency.» Lettre à M. Todd, du bureau des postes à Londres.
