Governor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 24th of October last, on the subject of a location for a Patent Slip for which Mr Davis applied in his letter of the 18th of July 1843.

A reference having been made to the Naval Commander in Chief, it appears that His Excellency does not intend to place any of the Naval Establishments at the point at the entrance of the Lymoon Passage indicated in your letter and you are therefore authorized to grant a sufficient quantity of ground there to Mr Davis to set up his Patent Slip; such ground to be held on whatever terms Her Majesty's Government may be pleased to approve of and which in consideration of the very useful nature of the object to which it is to be applied as well as the unavoidable outlay will probably be for a term of years at a nominal quit rent.
