I have the honour to acknowledge

the receipt of Your Lordship's Confidential Despatch of

the 4th. of June, enclosing copy of a letter from the War

Office on the subject of the Crown Rent of the private

property known as Spring Gardens (Inland Lot No. 427)

purchased by the War Department.

2.

In order to place Your Lordship in

possession of the whole of the correspondence between this

Government and the local Military Authorities, I now trans-

-mit copies of the letters, specified in the annexed

schedule, which have not previously been sent to you.

3.

I had hoped that the proposal made

in my Confidential Despatch of the 12th. of February would

have been accepted by the War Office, and I regret to find

that the Army Council demur to that arrangement.
