Major General

The Lord Sattown K.C.B. & G.C.H.

My Lord,

Victoria, 26th October 1843.

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of Your Lordship's letter No. 520 of 23rd Instant with its enclosed original from Major Aldrich, regarding the Manilla Timber transferred to that Officer by Lieut. Ouchterlony.

I beg to say, that I entirely approve of the plan which Major Aldrich suggests for closing the Account of that Timber.

Lieut. Ouchterlony's plan of valuing the Timber, and obliging the Contractors to take it at that valuation, appears to me to have been, in every point of view, highly reprehensible; and of that Officer's applying, as he did, for remuneration on the plea of the gain to the Public by his measures, there can be only one opinion.

I have &c.

(Signed) Henry Pottinger
