Sir

I have the honor to solicit, that you will be pleased to sanction the expenditure of sixty pounds Sterling out of the vote "fencing, stabling and incidental expenses" for enabling me to proceed with the lithographic illustrations of my works on the plants of Australia, the balance of the sum of £145 under authority No 324 being sufficient to bear this expense.

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

your most obedient and humble servant

Ferd. Mueller.

Gov. Botanist

 

The honorable the Chief Secretary
