Answer to Address [14th February] reported, as follows:—
I have received your Address, praying that I will take such measures as I may deem most expedient, in order that Epping Forest may be preserved as an open space for the recreation and enjoyment of the public.
Concurring with you in the desire that open spaces in the neighbourhood of the Metropolis may, as far as possible, be preserved for the enjoyment of My people, I will carefully consider how effect may be given to the prayer of this Address.
