side.
With regard to the application made for the site for a Clergyman's House His Excellency sees no objection to the accommodation being afforded as the Barrack accommodation is so much larger than will probably be required in future for any Detachments that His Excellency the Governor may consider it desirable to have stationed there and a Commissariat Officer could be quartered in the Barracks if necessary I have &c.
