Dear Sir,
I enclose a letter from Mr Cl. Hodgkinson,1 according to which you will see that the small triangular piece of ground is regarded by the Board of Land & Works as belonging to my northern reserve. If this evidence is still not satisfactory, I will cancel the fencing contracts & rather relinquish the intended improvements as I have no more spirit to carry them out against any further opposition
With kind regards
yr
Ferd. Mueller.
E. Fitzgibbon Esq
