SITTINGS OF THE COUNCIL. 173 
To this letter the President sent the following answer, accompa- 
nied by the reply prepared by the Committee : — 
311, Regent-street, 14 Feb. 1848. 
Sir, — I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your let- 
ter of the 8th inst., and enclose the reply prepared by the Council 
to the leading points of the petition and charter lying at the Home 
Office ; as, however, the application has been renewed, and as 
there are several points yet unanswered, the Council have the 
subject still under their serious deliberation, and are preparing a 
more detailed reply for Sir George Grey’s consideration ; or, 
should an explanation to yourself be more convenient, I will do 
myself the honour of waiting on you at any time you may appoint. 
I have the honour to be, Sir, 
Your most obedient servant, 
(Signed) Thos. Turner, 
President Roy. Col. Vet. Surgs.
