The 3rd Copy

as directed by article 272, Sec. 2 Chap 8 of the Colonial Regulations

has been deposited with the Assistant Surveyor General

3

articles

All the useless and condemned furniture have been handed over to the Surveyor General for the purpose of being sold and the proceeds credited to the public revenue.

From time to time, articles which have been condemned and removed from the rooms have been drafted into the private apartments, causing thereby confusion and rendering identification very difficult during the periodical inspection required by the Regulations, such articles being mixed up indiscriminately with furniture belonging to the Governor. I have accordingly directed all the old public furniture in the private apartments to be sold and credited to the public, so that for the future it may be clearly understood that all the furniture in such rooms is the private property of the Governor.

I have the honor to be,

My Lord Duke,

Your Grace's Most Obedient Servant,

Manners G. McNeill
