Description
Single sheet. Refers to Port Cooper as the best place to employ a small capital with land to build small huts with boats for passengers. Gives the potential rent for one week. Wellington is one of the best places if land is needed a short distance from the town but clearance could be costly (he lists the costs) particularly without a house on site. Gives costs for setting up in Auckland. Gives advice for making use of the land by growing barley and cutting it down before it is ripe and refers to the profitability of vegetable plots.
