From A. P. White & Company1    11 May 1860

Melbourne, May 11th 1860

Dr F Mueller,

Botanical Gardens

 

Dear Sir,

We beg to thank you for your obliging promise of communicating the subject of our letter, relating to the sale of the Camels, to the Exploration Committee.

We were informed, — and we think on reliable authority, — by the last mail, that of the Camels to be shipped on Government account from Karrachee2 none had been so shipped up to the 12th March. If so the vessel could not well get away in time to escape being overtaken by the S. W. Monsoon, in which event her live freight would have little chance of reaching their destination.

Again commending this matter to your serious consideration,

We are, Dear Sir,

yours obedtly

A. P. White & Co.
