Applying for an increased allowance for
Blacks
I have had the Blacks in since the 6th June
and have received £25 which pays me to the end
of September.
I don't know what the Government considers
is a fair amount of Beef for a Blackfellow
to eat in a week or a day.
I have suffered more from the Blacks in the way
of having cattle speared than anyone else in
the district, and informed the Land Board in
Townsville of it, but they increased the Rent
a 1/-- a mile above the Commissioner's valuation.
The Blacks have not troubled me since I let
them in on Evelyn. But there are some down
towards Cashmere that are troublesome there
but I have no food to encourage them to come
in.
Hoping you will be able to give me
some assistance
I have the honor to be Sir
Yours Obediently
Fred. W. Robinson
