Sir,

Referring to your memorandum dated the 24th instant,1 relative to the requisition recently forwarded to you, through the Honorable the Chief Secretary,2 for some plants for a new enclosure in Albert Park, I have the honor to inform you that the plantation of the enclosure in question is undertaken this year by the Board of Land & Works at the special request of many of the inhabitants of St Kilda, and I shall therefore be glad if you will cause at least a portion of the Pines required to be supplied of a greater age than one year.

I beg to point out that in your memorandum you do not state whether the willows specified in the requisition will be supplied.

I have the honor to be, Sir,

Your most obedient servant
