Government House Nongthing

I, the April 1843.

I have deferred replying to your private letter

of the 2nd ults with the various Enclosures

on

the subject of Stone Quarries

until I should have

an

opportunity of consulting

the Land Officer

and

Surveyor..

I now think it advisable to record the result of

my communication with Mr. Gordon and the decision which I have come to as a

guide for the

future

There

does

not appear to be the least risk

of the supply of

good Stone

this Island failing

as inexhaustible Quarries can

be opened up in

more

they

are

every direction, and the better, as adding to the level ground of the Island, fit for building upon.
