Mcleod states that he has written the department several times asking for more wood for Pictou Landing. Mcleod reported that they have great difficulty in the winter and have to steal wood which makes relations with neighbours stressed. The land sale from 1903-1904 did not work out because the man who offered timber turned out to not have proper title. Another man (Captain Joseph) has tract of land with farm and timber but won't sell timber alone. Mcleod argued that this is the best available option (not joined to reserve but close). Mcleod "hopes the department will consider favourably. The situation and the immediate necessity of procuring for the Indians wooded land before the snows of another winter hit the ground."
