Melbourne Botanic Garden, 4/5/72
Sir
I have the honor to inform you that your letter of 19th March was submitted to the Trustees of the Royal Park at a meeting held yesterday, when I was directed to express a hope of the Trustees that the intended plantations on the cricket ground within the Royal Park would be formed this season, in order that not a year for the purpose would be lost.
As Director of the Botanic Garden of Melbourne I am prepared to furnish the needful young trees, provided that your ground will be fully prepared in the course of May, with which month the distributions of plants from my nurseries for public institutions will cease for this season.
Trusting that finally all the obligations of the Brunswick Council towards the Trustees of the Royal Park will be carried out1 I have the honor to remain
Your obedient
(signed) Baron Von Mueller, MD.
Hon. Secr. Trustees Royal Park
F. Miles Esq
Town-clerk of Brunswick
M to F. Miles, 26 February 1872, reminded the council of its obligations to complete fences and tree planting.
