Referring to your minute of the 16th Instant,

Letter not found.

relative to the suggested application of the Trustees of the Royal Park for the issue of a Crown Grant to them for that Reserve, I have the honor to state for the information of the Trustees that the Board of Land and Works consider that prior to formally making the application alluded to, the Trustees should submit for the approval of the Board, the rules proposed to be adopted for the regulation and management of the reserve, and a statement of the manner in which it is intended to appropriate the funds derived from the sale of the grass not at present required for the Animals in charge of the Acclimatisation Society.

I have the honor to be,

Sir

Your most obedient Servant

John L Lewis
