No. 71

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Grace's
despatch No. 27, of the 25th May, relative to the proposed
formation of a settlement for Indian converts to 

Christianity,
and I observe with much satisfaction that your Grace has been
pleased to sanction the reserve of several hundred acres of
land in the neighbourhood of Fort Simpson, for the use and
benefit of the Indians, subject to certain stipulations which
I shall

cause to be observed.
