prepare settlements etc.etc. That in certain places spotted by Europeans lands should be sold by auction for the benefit of the natives but that in all cases Govt. alone should negotiate the purchase of land. I have got opinions from the Bishop, Martin, Swainson, Buddle, Kisling, Burrows and Smith, together with bills prepared by my advisers and by Lenell. I send also letters from Daldy some petitions and I expect one from Carleton addressed to the Sec. of State about direct purchase.
