My dear Sir

Permit me to apologise for having left your note unanswered.1 I was unable to give any certain assurance of possession of the site of the tent to the good man who brought your note to me.

In reference to the tree guards the City Surveyor will be happy to deliver the materials of them, uprights, rails, battens &c, to any person whom you may send to the Town Hall for them.2

Yours very faithfully

E. G. FitzGibbon

Town Clerk

Dr. Mueller
