Melbourne botanic & zoologic Garden,
2. Aug 1860
Dear Sir,
Since you had the goodness to write to me,1 I have waited on Mr Service respecting the depasturing of the reserve next to my establishment, and have learnt that his Honor is inclined to let it on lease in order to raise some revenue from the ground.
Whenever a final decision is arrived at in reference to the matter I will do myself the honor of communicating with you.
Very regardfully,
dear Sir,
your
Ferd Mueller.
Capt. Standish,
Chief Commissioner of police
&c &c &c2
Letter not found.
On 3 August 1860, Standish referred M's letter to Frederick Winch, Depot Superintendent, 'for the Vety [Veterinary] Surgeon's information. The horses will of course not be turned out in the reserve as I directed verbally this morning'. Winch duly passed the letter on to the Veterinary Surgeon for his 'information and guidance', and then returned it to Standish.
