I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No. 29
of the 16th of January last.
I concur in your recommendation that the case of
Mr. Trutch should
be allowed to stand over for a time, but it will be desirable that you
should report in the course
of of this year what progress
Mr. Trutch has
been able to make towards finding a purchaser for his interests in the
Bridge and Road, as it is not desirable that the present provisional
arrangement should continue indefinitely.
