It is perhaps as well. I should
add, that
ever
burthen
House at present in Lord Saltoun's occupation be permanently assigned for the Residence of the General Officer Commanding, it seems to me advisable that it should be taken down to admit of the still on which it is built being cut down; and that therefore, any steps for repairing it as it now stands, would, I conceive, be a useless expense. The House
in question was
one
of the very
earliest
erected in the Colony, at a moment
when the retention of this Island
by Her Majesty
was a matter of doubt,
and I do not think that the House
could be altered or repaired (except by rebuilding) so as to form a suitable
Residence for the General Officer Commanding, with his personal Staff.
