Tasmania,
Colonial Secretary's Office,
30th June 1860
Sir,
I beg to tender you the thanks of this Government for your kind services, so freely given, in preparing for the landing and forwarding the Salmon ova, expected per "S. Curling."
At the same time I have to acquaint you that a letter has been addressed to the Honorable the Chief Secretary by this Government,1 respecting some future arrangements, by a united plan, between the two Governments, for the importation of a further supply. This communication may perhaps come before you, and I hope it may meet with your favorable attention.2
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your very obedient Servant.
Wm Henty
F. Mueller, Esquire &c
