I understand the people of Barneys River are
applying to you for some money for the road on
the west side of the river. And have nominated
Walter Murray for [commissioner?] to expand it. I
am aware myself that it very much needs it.

of the county, I would be much pleased if you
could grant them the prayer of this petition.

Wishing you a good [?term OR time] in the Capital
I remain your [obt] [&c]
George Murray

P.S. Perhaps it might do no harm to read this
portion of the letter have reference to my Afc to the
Committee on Indian Affairs. I see by the papers that
there is a majority of Liberals on it, which perhaps
may be of some little advantage to you.
