Town Clerk's Office,
Town Hall,
Melbourne Jany 9th 1864
Sir
I beg you to accepting apologies for only verbally answering your letter of the 16th ultimo, requesting the assent of the City Council to the erection of a temporary fence across the Yarra Bank Road at the two end fences of the portion of Richmond Park, which was enclosed for Zoological purposes, I was so hurried by business at the close of the year, that I really had not time to write to you indicating the assent of the City Council to your request which was given on the 21st ultimo and which I doubt not you have since acted upon.
I have the honor to be,
Sir
Your obedt Servt
(Signed) E. G. FitzGibbon
Town Clerk
Dr F. Mueller
