The wood work is firm and sound at the joints, but it often is so effected by dry winds as to be comparatively useless. The covers to chairs, sofa's yes are also much deteriorated, the curtains too are faded and much worn, and the carpet of the Dining Room is nearly worn through. The lamps too have not lasted so well as I expected, those in constant use having suffered considerably.
It is therefore questionable if it would not be desirable to hold a survey upon it and make arrangements for the supply of such articles as may be condemned, by purchase in England.
All public furniture, that is the several articles necessary for the lower Suite of Rooms or public reception Rooms, is provided by the Government; the bed Room floor is furnished at the expense of each Governor. In the case of His Excellency, in consequence of difficulties arising in regard to the furniture of the late Governor which had been all sold, and inconveniences resulting from entry into a residence entirely denuded of effects, an allowance was authorised to be paid on the condition that the succeeding Governor should have the refusal of the private furniture, should he desire to buy it at a valuation.
I have &c.,
