Hill Barracks is by far the widest and best portion of the whole; and from time to time has been repaired and improved where from experience it has been found requisite.
For my last report I informed Your Excellency that the Prison was completed. It is now in my power to report the speedy progress of the Magistracy to the same state, and in a few weeks from the present date it will I trust be habitable. In the vicinity of these last buildings some individuals have already built brick houses, and more are building.
I now come to the Barracks destined to be; having had nearly twice the number of men it was intended to hold crammed into them, which is calculated to prove destructive to the health of the men as well as to the stability of the building.
A small Post office has likewise been commenced and finished, and some additional temporary Store Houses for the Commissariat have been erected and were necessary for the storage of stores.
In order to open a Communication between the Record Office, this is in rapid progress and will I trust be completed in less than six weeks.
The Guard House, and Officers Quarters are completed and are now occupied, though I regret to say not in the manner they were destined.
On this side of the Island; I have had a bridle path cut up the hill that will now be ascended with ease and descends on that place. It has attained two-thirds of the whole height, but does not progress as I could wish. The sappers who are employed upon it being in a very weakly state.
