Police office, Brisbane
October 5 - 1849 -

Sir
I have the honor to acknow-
ledge the receipt of your letter
of the 13th ulto., requesting me to
report, whether the old Wind-
mill at Brisbane, as it now
stands, is in any way useful
as a land mark, or in any other
manner, as the Dy. Commissary
General has suggested that the
materials be sold.

(2) In reply I beg to inform
you that the Windmill is not
visible from any part of the
Bay, and therefore is of no use
as a land mark, further
than being an object which
is readily seen from several

The Honble.
The Colonial Secretary
