Note “Pictou, 22nd July 1834 Sir R. George, Sir, I beg leave to state that the few remaining Indians residing in this district are quite destitute of means and necessities of life. The bearer [] Paul is one of the best. He is a sober man, and lately did his best to support a son who died of consumption. He does to Halifax for aid to buy a [] and to apply for license to occupy at parcel of the land at the entrance to this Harbour which they the Indians claimed, at [] and of which you wrote about some years back – one hundred acres would answer their purposes. I believe Mr. Archibald McDonald and a Mr. [] of Halifax have some claims on the property. I have the honor to be respectfully Sir, your obedient servant, Hugh Denoon
