Correspondence with the Zoological Society of Jos regarding assistance from the Zoological Society of London

Sir John Walsh presents his compliments to Mr Vigors & begs to represent to him the impertinence which he experienced from a Gate Keeper of the name of Parker at the Zoological Gardens this afternoon. This person in demanding Sir John's umbrella & in reply to an observation that as shown was threatening, he was unwilling to relinquish it and with great insolence that it was no use taking, he must have it, & his behaviour was the more improper as Sir John was accompanied by Lady Jane & his children. If the Society find it necessary to adopt a regulation, which in a large garden, & in a showery season must be admitted to be an inconvenient & annoying one to the visitors, it must be their wish that it should be enforced with the greatest civility and they cannot desire to licence their Servants to accost persons of respectability with the manners and tone of a police officer to a pickpocket
