Copy of letter from His Honor the Superintendent, to the Board of Management of Native Reserves.

Gentlemen,—

His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor having called for a full report upon the Native reserves of this settlement, and having approved of you to act as a Board in connection with them, I have the honour to forward a copy of the Hon. the Colonial Secretary's letter for your guidance in furnishing the required information, which I shall feel obliged by your supplying as early as it is practicable, to facilitate which I have directed the whole of the Trust papers to be placed at your disposal, together with every other document and memorandum in this office which relates to the subject.
