Dear Sir;- I thank you for your note dated April 

 6th. Would you kindly send me your draft of a preface, or if 

 you are to he in town tomorrow, you might perhaps hand it to me 

 at the office of the Park Commission in the afternoon. The 

 extract from the records of the park Commission might perhaps be 

 print by themselves on the back of the title page. I should 

 not suppose that the preface itself might occupy more than one 

 page, but of this we can talk perhaps tomorrow. 



Yours truly, 

 J ^ ,
