Secretary of the Colony,

I am inclined to concur in your opinion that the extension of the lease of

the existing

Le Che

concession will be of great benefit to the Company.

I authorise you to take the necessary steps for granting those leases in virtual perpetuity for a term of 999 years.

an application from the Honorable M. Napier, Clerk of Works and Civil Engineer, for travelling expenses, Overland to this Colony.
