The first intimation which I
had of
more Barracks being required on this Island was by a letter from Your Lordship, 24th Dec 1842, of date as per margin, to which I replied at the earliest moment expressing my perfect

Your Lordship would give orders for a part of
the Barracks and all the store houses, recommended
by the Executive Engineer, to be begun immediately (now just seven months ago), and in this letter I stated that as this question is one of purely military nature, Your Lordship will be better able than I am to decide on it; and I can
