Halifax 22d March 1824

Sir,
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Letter under date of the 18th [instant] with the enclosures stating the Claims of Indians to certain Lands at Pomquet, and which claims are [supposed] to [extend] to part of a [Tract] included in a Grant made to me of Lands in [that] District ---

In reply to which I beg leave to to observe that the Statements contained in the Report of the [?Revd] [Mr] [Trotter] having conveyed to me for the first time an [indication] of any claim affecting my interest in these Lands I am not at present in possession of such evidence as I should otherwise have been [prepared] with to submit to the consideration of His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor upon this Subject. But I beg to state for the information of His Excellency that I visited these Lands last Summer with two persons who pointed out the boundaries of my Grant. We [passed] along the entire front and did not
observe

Sir Rupert D. George [Bart]
