Melbourne botan. Garden

Yesterday dear Mr Sprigg at the Meeting of the Royal Park's Committee I submitted your letter in which you tendered your resignation as the Official upon whom the surveillance of the Park so long devolved. The Trustees aware of your having accepted a more important position accepted your resignation, but wished me at the same time to express their regret at having lost the services which you so zealously and judiciously rendered on their behalf and desire me to also convey to you their best thanks for your uniform attention to their wishes, and congratulate you to the highly honorable position you now hold1
I am dear Sir
Your very regardful
F. v M.
Hon. Secr. to the Trustees of the Royal Park
