| Abstract | The Pictou Landing First Nation sought more land for their reserve in 1875, and the Provincial Government of Nova Scotia purchased a separate lot that was near, but not connected to the reserve, from James Sproull. As few roads existed in the area at the time, it was easier for residents of the reserve to cut across the property separating the two plots of land, which was also owned by Sproull. Sproull, in an effort to reduce 'trespassing,' proposed that an exchange of land be arranged between himself and Pictou Landing so that the two reserves would be connected. Vankoughnet inquired as to the proposed location of a road that would allow the Pictou Landing Indians access to their woodlot, and how this would relate to the exchanged parcels of land. |

| Note | "Sir, With reference to that part of your letter of the 18th Oct last which states that Mr. [Joes/Jess/Jones] has promised a road and is ready to give it at any time if required, I have the honor to inform you that the sketch enclosed in that letter does not shew how such road would run so as to strike the highway and thus afford the Indians access to their wood land. You will have the [] to supply this omission and also state what are the respective areas of the parcel proposed to be exchanged. I may add that it is presumed from the year of your letter that Mr [Jones/Joe/Ives?] will give his road free of charge." |
