Dear Sir, 
On behalf of the Managers of the New Richmond 
Public School, I desire to very cordially thank you 
^ for sending to the School a parcel of Museum specimens. 
Unhappily recent unforsaen events will compel the 
Managers to close the School at an early date. Under 
these circumstances we think it only right that your 
opinion as to the destination of these specimens should 
be solicited. Ho doubt many of the Schools in Richmond 
and many more in the West of London, would be only too 
glad to possess them. If you think fit, the Managers 
would be glad to transfer them to some deserving 
Richmond School, so that they may be retained for 
Educational purposes. 
Yours faithfully. 
Director, 
Royal Gardens,
