James Page 203 I am told, I think from authority, that the government will give up the expense and management of the Indians and the trade to several Provinces. I was examined on this subject by the Lords of Trade, and could scarecely believe the information I had there of the annual expense; indeed I should not have credited it had been less authenticated, for the annual expense I am told, is near if not about L100,000 to the crown. God knows whether the poor savages get it. I shall write you again so soon as I know the success of my memorial. Permit me to assure you I am with great regard and esteem, Gentlemen, Your obliged and obedient humble servant, Geo MERCER. __________________________ Princess Anne County Marriage Bonds.
