From John Moore to Ferdinand von Mueller   26 Jan 18591

Will Dr Mueller be so good as to inform the Chief Secretary if he is prepared to receive these animals

26/1/582 J. Moore3

On 21 January 1859 the Alpaca fund committee wrote to the Chief Secretary, J. O'Shanassy, to report that they had received a bill of lading for the alpacas per Goddess and to request instructions as to their disposal. O'Shanassy annotated the file: ' Forward to Dr Mueller for report of the Zoological Garden Committee J O'S 20/1/59'.

The year date is evidently an error and should be 59.
