that the building actually occupied by the Storekeeper 

 General's Department in Intendance street, bo handed 

 over to the Society for the purpose of transferring 

 thereto the Museum and Library of the Society, 



2. His Excellency, as you are aware, takes a 

 warm interest in the Museum and will gladly assist in 

 its improvement, bat on the present occasion he feels 

 unable to meet the wishes of the Society as he consi- 

 ders that the building asked for is altogether unsuit- 

 able for the purposes of a Museum. 



3. With a view, however, of providing proper 

 accommodation on a convenient site for the Museum 

 and Library, His Excellency has decided to give over 

 to the Society the rent which the premises at present 

 held by the Storekeeper Greneral will yield, and to 

 add thereto an annual grant from the Treasury for a 

 certain number of years so as to enable the Society to 

 devise some scheme for carrying out its views. 



I have the honor to be, 

 Sir, 

 Your most obedient servant, 



L. E. Schmidt, 

 Act. Asst. Colonial Secretary. 



La seance est levee.
