Melbourne Chamber of Commerce
April 2 1861
Sir
In consequence of enquiries addressed to this Chamber by influential commercial associations in England, this Chamber is desirous of obtaining all the information in its power relative to the cotton growing capabilities of Australia & especially its northern Districts.1 it seemed to this Committee that you might be in possession of information already on the subject or might direct them to parties who have tried experiments & would be disposed to communicate the results to the Chamber in order that the same may be sent to England for general dissemination, any such which you can conveniently render to the Chamber will much oblige
I am
Sir
Your Obedient Sert.
John Russell
Sec
Dr Mueller2
