No. 111

I have had the honor to receive Your Grace's Despatch No. 53 of
the 18th July, forwarding Copies of two letters addressed to
you by Mr Francis Poole applying for a concession of Queen
Charlotte's Islands.

2. Mr Poole can of course purchase, upon survey, any
unoccupied land in Queen Charlotte's Islands which he may desire
to acquire at a dollar an acre.

3. I would mention that both Gold an[d] Coal have been found in
the group of islands in question and that it appears from the
Sea to present, in Summer, every attraction. I have not
landed on it.
