Excellency would direct the Surveyer General to examine and report upon the lot in question, and that I may be left the option of occupying it, at such reduction of rent as may be considered equitable.

I would further state for the information of His Excellency, that my object in wishing to obtain possession of this ground is that I may plant upon it in such a manner both the appearance, and approach to my present Residence, that for this purpose I think the rate of £5 per acre, would be an adequate Rental, and one to which I shall willingly accede, if it should meet His Excellency's approbation.

I have, &c.

(Signed) W. Scott.

Colonial Secretary.
