Abstract
Poor copy letter from George Smith (resident of Pictou) asking for the Lieutenant Governor to consider allowing the purchase of land from Mr. Moodie at Moodie point for the Mi'kmaq who were already residing on the land. Smith stated that the Mi'kmaq would only accept that tract of land, and he asked for the government to purchase it. Moodie agreed to the sale. Interestingly, early maps of Pictou show an Indian Village at that point, predating Moodie's claims.
