I hope therefore I may be pardoned suggesting to Her Majesty's Government the necessity of the Light House indicated, and the expediency of supplying at all events a portion of the funds from Imperial Treasury, and an appeal for general subscription might be successfully grounded on the grant of such Government aid.
I have the honour to be,
With the highest respect,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
J[ohn] Crawfurd.
