Mrs Robert Ramsay
Madam
At a meeting of the Trustees of the Royal Park, held on the 26th inst. it was resolved
unanimously, to convey to you the expression of condolence, felt by the Trustees at
the loss sustained by you through the early and so unexpected death of their late
respected colleague, the Hon. Robert Ramsay.
In transmitting to you this resolution, allow me to add, that the vivid interest evinced
by the lamented gentleman also in all matters concerning the Royal Park and the ready
and genial manner, in which he devoted his great talents and his valuable time to
all public affairs in this colony, will always be kept in grateful remembrance by
my colleagues of the Park-trust and myself.

Your very obedient
