out to the Honorable the Lieutenant Governor how
essentially necessary it is
in such an
to have
a competent and
trustworthy Clerk, and as
during Mr Power's absence
I was obliged to report the
difficulties I had to
encounter in carrying
on the Service of the Department at a time when I had but few Public Works on hand and but few Land
Sales, that the duties
are now both upon
myself and him, I trust
the Honorable the Lieutenant
Governor may be pleased
to look favourably upon the application and recommend
it to the Right Honorable
The Secretary of State
