Sir
I have the honor to inform you that at a meeting of the Trustees of the Royal Park
held this day T. Sumner Esq. in the Chair, a letter of the honorable the Chief Secretary,
dated April 30 1863 and numbered 16[7]0
was submitted by the Acting President of the Acclimation Society expressing the acquiescence
of the Government in the sale of the Dromedaries as proposed by the Council of the
Acclim. Society. As no previous official intimation of the proposed sale of these
animals was made by the Acclimation Council to the Trustees, my colleagues deemed
it their duty to direct me to solicit your information, wether they can regard themselves as entirely relieved of any responsibility in reference
to the sale of the Camels
