Copy of letter from James Brown, surveyor general, to Deputy S. W. Starkey. – 22 March 1860. – 1 p. of textual records. Brown states that His Lordship Dr. Sweeny has applied to government on behalf of an association at Saint John, of which the Bishop is president, for a survey of 20,000 acres of crown land near Longs Creek (York County) for settlement under the
Labour Act. Anxious to accommodate the Bishop, Brown directs Starkey to make the survey “in concert with such persons as His Lordship may wish to accompany you” and to reject any land unsuitable for cultivation.
