If these things are not attended ro, they will go wrong, namely the leasing and sale i-i lands. And now bo quick and arrange tte.-0 matters, so that your good regulations may be sll UF I avu greatly pleased with your words, for those who are poor will become possessed of tnat "»«■*- the great possession is living in peace.
