Melbourne bot Garden
3. Oct. 1857.
Dear Mr Gregory,
I am intruding with these lines on you, to hear if you think you could spare a few of your precious hours for some brief information on the physical geography of West Australia. My paper for the Institute has been fixed for November, and I should be proud to introduce any of your observations in it.1
The South Australian Explorers seem to have done comparitively, little but I am not yet in possession of particulars about Mr Hacks route.2
My letter in reply to your kind letter of last month,3 in which you expressed your intention to take the field again4 and to serve simultaneously bot. science has, I hope, arrived.
Goyders fresh water seas seem to have vanished in miarage5
Believe me, dear Sir
to be your most attached
Ferd. Mueller
