Sandakan, 18th October, 1890. The reports I hear from nearly every estate in the district are extremely gratifying. The greater part of the crops are already housed, and will be finished by the time you get this, whilst pre- parations for next year are well advanced, tha weather being very propitious,
We are following your lead in the matter of reclamation. The prevalence of sickness, owing to the smell from the mud when the tide ebbs, ban caused the lot-halders to comblas, and we expect that within six months the Government |will have transformed the town from its present swampy state into a stretch of farra firma.
