Respecting the application of W B Tooth
for Bopple

Sydney Feb 13th 1850
Col Barney

Sir
About four or five months since
Mr. W. B. Tooth of the firm W. B. Tooth & Co
Wide Bay applied to the Government for a licence
of a station called "Bopple" regarding which there is
some question raised by the Crown Land Officers
which remains to be decided whether the land can
be leased or not by the Government & which is
causing great inconvenience the decision being still
held is abeyance & as the above are proprietors of
a considerable quantity of stock, which they are
anxious to boil down the coming season, which is
close at hand, on the station applied for, and any
further detention will be of the utmost importance,
as they will not be able to carry out the improvements
contemplated, we eamestly beg therefore that this
matter may be at once decided.
We remain Sir
Yours very obdtly
Robt & Edwn. Tooth
