Port [Sarnia?] 17th February 1838?.
Sir
I have considered the answers of the Supt. General
to the questions put to you by me regarding my
position, location & what advantages would be [entitled?]
me by accepting the offer empowered by the act of
last session, and being dissatisfied on some points
of the evident intention of the Department it
becomes necessary to write you again on the
subject.
1st. I am perfectly satisfied with the assurance
of the Department that I would be entittled [entitled] to the
Capital of my share of the [Annuity?], and of the
yearly interest arrising [arising] from the land sales, also
the additional annual payment of $300. secured
to me by the [provisional?] agreement at the [time?]
of the late surrender.
2nd [But?] I am dissatisfied to perceive that the Dept.
is unwilling that I should have that portion of
the [reserve?] which I occupy secured to me
permanently on account as I suppose that you [think?]
I would be on [in] the way of the whites in [extending?] their Town
southward. It may not be [amiss?] to tell you at
once that I have no desire to retard the progress
of the Town in any way whatever but rather have an [interest?]
in it. Still I want to retain my lot [but] [crossed out] and [written above] have [it] [crossed out] my [written above]
rights secured in such a way that I would have full
power to [comply?] with the demands of it [when?] it is
actually required and this I am fully [convinced?]
