prepared of Public Work which I deem of the highest importance to the prosperity of the Colony, but which will be all for within the limits of the surplus Revenues, I must plead for a delay which the change in the mode of Government has necessitated.

I have the honour to be, With the highest respect Your Lordships' Most Obedient Humble Servants
