South Yarra, 10/7/74

Dear Sir

At a meeting of the Trustees of the Royal Park held this day I have duly laid your application and plan for fencing off an area in the Royal Park for the special use of the Carlton Football Club before my co-trustees, and I was directed to inform you that, with all their desire of facilitating recreative enjoyments, they for some time have held the conviction that it is most undesirable to allow any club or society the privilege for fencing in any portion of the public reserve in their charge, and therefore they cannot accede to the request of the Carlton Football Club.

I remain, dear Mr. Power, regardfully yours

Ferd. von Mueller

T. Power Esq

Hon Secretary of the Carlton Football Club.
