I have the honor to forward herewith a detailed statement of the purchase of the Thames foreshore, showing the progress of operations to the present time. This statement shows fully what has been done and what requires to be done. Had time permitted I intended to attach hereto a statement showing what moneys would be required to complete the purchase at the same rate as which the purchases have hitherto been made.
