1864- Letter containing details for purchase of land for Mi'kmaq at Fisher's Grant

Letter from Indian Commissioner Fairbanks to the Provincial Secretary, reporting that land had been purchased for the Mi'kmaq of Pictou County. The letter reports that the Mi'kmaq had taken possession of the land and were highly satisfied with the 50 acre lot. Of course, this land would be seen as insufficient within a decade, with more land being added over the next 50 years.
