St. Kilda 10 Ap 1860
Dr Mueller
Dear Sir
I herewith hand you two letters to self from Mr Neilson1 (who is I believe a relative to Captain Cadell) also a packet of seeds — the letters will repay perusal as he is living at almost the proposed point from which an exploration party2 could assemble —
As to his application to join it I have only to say that he is of robust habit about 27 years of age of good character — his letters explain his ability —
I remain
Dear Sir
Yours truly
H. Hopwood3
