Enclosure.
[Translation.]

Friends, greeting. Herewith we forward the boundaries of our land for your information, which land we are willing to lease to the Government—that is, if the arrangements for so doing are satisfactory. This is a boná fide offer of ours to you: do you let it to them, and carry out the arrangements in accordance with our agreement to lease,—that is, so that our interests and the interests of those leasing the land will be protected.

Now, we consider that you can make satisfactory arrangements respecting the price for the land,—that is, the rent per acre.

We how ask you to make us an advance of £500 on that land.
