10/10/64

Dear Sir,

I enclose a letter from Mr Cl. Hodgkinson,

C. Hodgkinson to M, 10 October 1864 (in this edition as 64-10-10a).

according to which you will see that the small triangular piece of ground is regarded by the Board of Land & Works as belonging to my northern reserve. If this evidence is still not satisfactory, I will cancel the fencing contracts & rather relinquish the intended improvements as I have no more spirit to carry them out against any further opposition

With kind regards

Ferd. Mueller.

E. Fitzgibbon Esq

&c &c &c

M's letter was read at a meeting of the Melbourne City Council Health Committee on 11 October 1864: 'Town Clerk instructed to reply that there exists no objection to the land named by the Board of Land and Works being enclosed' (Unit 1, VPRS 4039, Public Record Office, Victoria).
