Report of Comrs.
of Sable Island
on Mr. Darby's
claim for compensation
Recd. S Dec 1847

I think a copy of this report shd. be sent to Mr. Darby as a just & proper rebuke to him for seeking to take undue advantage of a new Governor by making to him statements at variance with the facts. I really feel obliged to the Commissioners further Report which is most satisfactory to me.
