Sir
I have the honor to inform you that the enclosed letter was received and laid before
the Council yesterday. The Council do not think it necessary to trouble to trouble
the Trustees about the matter but a
it is addressed to the Trustees will you kindly reply to it stating that owing to
the state of the Society's funds in consequence of the non receipt of the Government
grant the Society is not able to afford any money in repairing the roads in the Royal
Park. The Council [will] gladly avail themselves of the cooperation of the Borough
Council of Brunswick to solicit a portion of the grant for the improvement of parks
when that grant is about to be distributed.
