Sir,
I was favored with your
Excellency's note conveying to use
an extract of a Report made to you
by the Hon. J. Howe, pointing out
the discrepancy between the various
Charts which profess to lay down
the position of Sable Island, and
also the extent of the N.E. and N.W.
banks
His Excellency
Lieutenant General
Sit John Harvey. H.C.B.H.C.H
