In connection to Sproull's offer to sell land to the Fishers Grant Indians, Mclean stated that no funds are available to make the exchange with Sproull. Mclean reported that the department should not provide timbered lands for the use of the Indians, and said that if the Indians believed the department will constantly buy them lands they will never learn how to conserve the wood.
