My dear
leat for
4th
Victoria, August 24th 1844.
It has been the expectation and is
the wish of the gentlemen of the Committee, that
the Government should superintend the building of the Church.
I beg therefore to prefer the request that His Excellency the Governor will be
pleased to order it.
I would desire to explain that the applications made for the assistance of Mr.
Soper
was
only
on
the supposition that such
assistance would be given by him
on the part of Government.
I trust
you
as an
will excuse
my
officer
in
presenting the request in this general form,
and will favour
me
with
such information
as I may lay before the Committee.
The Honble. F. W. A. Bruce).
