However, I merely hint at this for your information, in case the natives may be urging you to survey for them elsewhere. But I presume, of course, you have instructions for your guidance, in reference to such contingencies. Of course the instructions in this letter are only to be considered by you when you receive notice to join me; as yet I have no intimation that you are to do so, but it is most probable that you will, as I have made application for a surveyor or two. I remain Yours truly (Signed) Donald McLean. To:- J. Scroggs Esq. Surveyor.
