"Dear Sir,
"In reply to your letter relative to the intended erection of a
police station in alleged advance of the general line of buildings in
Meeting House Lane, Peckham, I am directed to inform you that the
Receiver of Police states that he will, subject to the consent of the
Secretary of State, be prepared to co-operate with this Council in so
desirable an improvement as the widening of Meeting House Lane, as the
plan of the building is so arranged that at a comparatively trifling
expense, a sufficient area can hereafter be added to the width of Meeting
House Lane, where it joins the High Street.
"Yours faithfully,
"(Signed) T. BLASHILL,
