Colonial Office under date the 30th January 1843, with which I have been furnished by the Earl of Aberdeen, I pointed these facts out in a private communication to Sir William Parker, from whose reply (in form) of the 20th of April, I quote the following passage. "I feel that we shall have every reason to be satisfied with the liberal space for our Naval Establishments, and by no means that if we wish to grasp at more than is requisite. It strikes me, that we can retain Mr Knight's (the Naval Store Keeper) present Buildings, &c., until our Store Houses are completed on the Western part of Navy Bay that we shall then be able to relinquish them, but of course this can be better ascertained as we get on. I think there is a good situation for a Naval Hospital on the Western side of Navy Bay. On this point however I await the arrival of Doctor Wilson from Chusan in the Minden - to judge of the best site:"
