plan of survey on the next page-
Recommendation of John Spry Morris Esq. late Commissioner of Crown Lands-
The lot of land contained in this foregoing description and represented by the colored lines on the annexed plan is proposed as a reservation for the Indians, as it appears to have been intended that they should have 300 acres in this locality, this appears from the Plan of the late Surveyor General indicating the Indian Reserve at this point- I have therefore caused the survey to be made of this lot, and recommend that it be approved as such-
