The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 2

Mr. Webster to the Under Secretary for Public Works. Nelson, 19th July, 1873

Mr. Webster to the Under Secretary for Public Works.

Nelson

,

Sir,

I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 14th instant, advising me that the Government had made a further advance of £250 towards completing Tunnel B; and I now beg to convey the assurance of the Directors of this Company that the necessary funds will be raised by them to complete the drive. The work is being pushed forward as rapidly as possible, the contractor averaging about 50 feet per month.

I have, &c.,

H. M. Webster.

John Knowles,

Esq., Under Secretary, Wellington.
