No. 1

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your predecessor's
despatches Nos. 1 and 2 of the 8th and 10th of February last, enclosing
requisitions for certain stores for the Light Houses at Race Rocks and
Fisgard Island.

As on former occasions stores required for these Lighthouses have
been procured and forwarded to the Colony by the Board of Trade, I have
requested the Lords of the Committee to give directions for the supply
of the Stores now required.

The Crown Agents General will be instructed to repay the cost of
the supply of these stores, and you will be informed of the amount with
a view to its' reimbursement.
