No. 36

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch of 1st
March No 47 upon the subject of the completion of the
Fisgard and
Race Rock Light houses, and I am much gratified
to find that my
proceedings in this matter have met with the concurrence of Her
Majesty's Government.

2. I much regret however that circumstances which I could not
personally control should oblige me to apply for further pecuniary
aid, altho' of a comparatively trifling amount, as represented in my
despatch of the 2nd
instant
No 35, but your Grace will I trust
appreciate the position in which I was placed, and believe there was
no other proper course open to me.

3. I transmit herewith for your Grace's information Drawings of the
Light houses which will convey some idea of their character and
appearance.
