Melbourne bot. Gardens
20.1 March 1858.
Sir
I have the honor of transmitting to you a communication from the office of public works, suggesting, that the costs for six glass propagating frames, for which a plan was forwarded to the Honorable the Chief Commissioner of public works, should be defrayed from the vote "for tool and apparatus" of this department.
As the amount of this vote is sufficient to bear also the expense of 68£ for the above purpose, I humbly solicit, that you will be pleased to sanction the proposed arrangement.
I have the honor to be,
Sir
your most obedient and humblest servant
Ferd. Mueller,
Director of the bot Gardens
The Honorable the Chief Secretary
