It may however prevent future dissension. Your Lordship would tonew mit copy of this dispatch to the War Department expressing my desire to be formed through your Lordship with a formal expression of the assent to the formation of the road (a work of great utility and convenience to the Troops) provided the adjustment of certain details alluded to by Erlend Sauell in his note of 15-December 1865 be left to the discretion of that office, who I am sure will cause no unnecessary obstruction to a work of such Public utility.

Pm Official
F.Rogers. 5 Jan 66
I have the honour to be,
Your Lordship's
Most obedient Servant,
Viscount Strangford
