Office of Lands & Survey,

Melbourne, 14th Dec., 1868.

Sir,

Referring to previous Correspondence1 on the subject of the annexe of the Old Exhibition Building, I have the honor to inform you that as the public derives much advantage from the use of the building in question for the practice of gymnastics the Board of Land and Works have decided that it shall be used, as heretofore, for that purpose.

I have the honor to be,

Sir

Your most obedient servant,2

Assist. Commr. of Lands & Survey.

Dr Mueller

Government Botanist

&c. &c. &c.
