Murr, Esq., M.D. Dear Sir,—I am in receipt of the communication from the Dept. of Indian Affairs, Ottawa, having reference to discrepancies in the plan of the Indian reserve near Truro. I beg to say that, there is no necessity for any alterations in the deeds or con- veyances already made, as the descriptions in the deeds, &c., are the same as the courses on the ground; but I regret to say that in protracting the place I made a mistake, taking the north for the south end of the meridian. I have made a new plan, which I send you herewith, and which, I think, will be found correct. The courses and distances on the plan are exactly the same as they are on the ground, and if there should be any discrepancies in the scaling of the plan it does not affect the ground itself. ~The total acreage of the lot is 35 acres, exclusive of the main road, which runs through the lot. I also have marked on the plan of sub-divisions the width of each lot, which is 41 ft. 8 in., except No. 19, which is 42 ft. These widths should have been marked on the other plan, but were omitted. With regard to the manner in which the whole lot has been divided.: as you are aware, the Indians will not have the lots located in any other way, and they now have their buildings erected on nearly all the lots as located, and I am of opinion that if any attempt were made to locate the sub-divisions differently the Indians would leave the reserve, as the divisions were made with their unanimous consent.
