Sir,
Since mailing the answers to your circular I have had reason to wish the report had been changed.

I think we have enough buildings in this Sub district. At any rate the churches can always be used. I find there is a school and fine church at Mt Vernon.

It is not expected that the Govmt or State will [[illegible]] where the churches can be used for [[? ?]] ordinary houses can be rented.

I would like to change the Report to read "no buildings required". As soon as I have further facts [[illegible]] today or tomorrow I will send a new report

Very respectfully
Your obt servt
