From the case file
We regret that you feel the Government is delaying payment for your land in order that it may be necessary for you to purchase a homestead. We assure you that there is absolutely no foundation for your belief.
A man will be allowed to locate wherever he chooses and no persuasion of any nature will be used to have him do otherwise.
