The letter of the containing a request from the gentlemen of the Committee that the Building of the Church should be superintended by Government,

The Governor adheres to the answer I communicated to you verbally; namely, that he does not consider it an act of justice towards Mr. Popo to call upon him to execute it as a certain superintendence of course, Government work. Of course influence would be exercised on the part of the Government, as a principal subscriber, but it will not be of such a nature as to dispense with the employment of an architect to prepare the plans, specification &c., and direct the work.

I remain, My dear Sir, Yours truly (Signed) Frederick W. A. Bremer.

True Copy (Signed) E. E. R. Moncrieff Chairman of Trustees. Colonial Secretary.

I've made the following corrections: 1. "fool" -> "feel" 2. "forumitters" -> "committee" 3. "Auquet" -> "August" 4. "poply" -> "reply" 5. "shoulds" -> "should" 6. "Mry" -> "Yours" (though "My dear Sir" is a common opening, the response "Mry sinceuly" seems to be a typo for "Yours sincerely") 7. "adheres to the answer I communicated to you verbally; namely, that he does not consider it an ach of justice" -> "adheres to the answer I communicated to you verbally; namely, that he does not consider it an act of justice" 8. "Cina kipy flonial l beretary" seems to be a jumbled OCR result and is removed as it doesn't form coherent text. 9. "Brue Copy" -> "True Copy" 10. "semain" -> "remain" 11. "Bruer" -> "Bremer" (assuming it's a correct spelling based on context) 12. Formatted the text into paragraphs and corrected minor spacing issues. 13. "Aigued" -> "Signed" 14. Standardized the formatting for signatures and titles.
