But if the Colonial Government have a reversionary interest in Murray Battery they should, in return, be given a like reversionary interest, to an equal value, in the new barracks, which interest that Government will be entitled to realise, should neither the barracks nor their equivalent be required hereafter for purposes of defence.

My Lords are sending a copy of this letter to the War Office.
The Under Secretary of State, Colonial Office.
I am, &c.
