should pay me 250 French dollars per annum 1 have likewise arranged with (hem
that if they wished to land " Muhar" and " Zenni" oysters in the island for
commercial purposes, they should pay me landing fee at the rate of 100 dollars per
mensem. I have also given them permission to dig wells to supply water to their
men who are working on the red oxide mines, and I will- pay considerations and
respects to their men who are working on the mines.
I have perhaps made out certain Agreements previous to this. They do not hold
good, and this Agreement is to be acted upon.
