Sir,

ETC
ETC ETC
On behalf of the Roman Catholic Schools I have the
honour to apply to you for recommendation to His Excellency
the Governor the granting of a site in the village of
Aberdeen for the purpose of erecting a school thereon.
The ground we would like to acquire is that on
which was formerly a Government. School, now demolished.
It is true, that the Mission owns a small piece
of ground in the mentioned village, but it is too far: then
it is considered very unsuitable to erect a building on it
for school.
We therefore apply to you to recommend then the
land which is only small dimension to be granted to the
Mission at a nominal rental.
I have etc
(Sd) P. de Maria.
