2. I have already
conveyed in general terms my
approval of
these
proposals, in my tel of the 22nd of April last, and in my despatch no. 84.
the 23rd of April.
3. I shall be glad
to receive from you
in due course
full particulars of the plan finally adopted for Women & Children's Hospital & the Nurses'
Institute ; and also
as to how many
miles of the proposed
Road will be undertaken
in the first instance
and in what direction.

In approving
the
Road
Scheme for
round the Island,
it must not be understood
that I have sanctioned the
raising of a loan for the purpose of completing it at an early date,
as
appears to have been contemplated by
at any
rate
some of
the
supporters of the scheme ;
but the road should, in
my opinion, be constructed gradually out of current revenue, supplemented by whatever subscriptions may be raised for the purpose on the present occasion.
