Her Majesty's Government was to secure firms and all other persons (British & foreigners) having permanent interest in the Country, sufficient space for their necessities, at moderate rates, with as little competition as might enable parties to accommodate themselves according to their respective wants.
I feel assured, upon attentive reflection, that steady adherence to this rule will be found most conducive to the well-understood interests of the establishment, and to the fair claims of persons upon the spot; parties falling within the description I have specified, not yet supplied with lots, will soon be in a situation to accommodate themselves.
May I request you, gentlemen, to circulate this letter.
