J. P. BRAGA,
DEAR MR. BRAOM,-With regard to your letter of April 12 (which I regret bas remained so long an answered), it appears to the Gov srnment that the correct solution of the difficulties which are shown in the divergent yiows you forward under cover of your letter is to concentrate on the Cox's Rond Site as a Playground while leaving the Chatham Rond Site to develop into an open space with shelter with a view more to the requirements of grown up people,
Instructions have accordingly been issued that this line of petion should be followed-Yours sinerre 17.
