Sir
At a Meeting of the Trustees of the Royal Park held yesterday I was instructed to communicate through the Council of the Acclimatisation Society the desire of the Trustees, that Mr Jos. Mitchell the Gardener of the Park, may be asked to inspect the dead timber of the Park and submit for consideration a proposal for the removal and utilizing of such as can be conveniently spared, some of the wood being evidently suitable for rustic bowers, seats &c
I have the honor to be
Sir
Your obedient servant
sign. F. Mueller

Secretary of the Acclim. Society
