Description

John Wilson Croker. We told Commissioner Shield of your order that the Admiral's House at Cape Town was to receive only temporary repairs, as it was your intention to remove the whole of the Establishment at the Cape of Good Hope to Simons Bay. The Commissioner's reply shows he is making preparation for the removal. Ask whether any answer has been received from Rear Admiral Stopford regarding the estimated value of the Naval storehouses and premises at Cape Town and the expense of the buildings required at Simons Town.
