To James Grant   25 October 1872

Melbourne Botanic Garden 25 Octob. 1872

Sir,

I have the honor to inform you that I have been instructed by my colleagues, the trustees of the Royal Park, at a meeting held this day, to ask you to grant them an interview, the trustees being anxious to bring verbally their views in reference to the permanent reservation of the Park before you. The trustees would regard it a particular favor if they could wait on you before Friday of next week, as one of our colleagues proceeds on that day to a distant part of the country.

I have the honor to be Sir

Your obedient

(signed) Ferd von Mueller,

Secr. Trust. Roy. Park.

 

The Honorable the President Board of Land & Works1
