From Ferdinand von Mueller to the Melbourne Chamber of Commerce   [May 1861]

[Letters were read from Dr. Mueller and W. L. Morton, Esq., on the capabilities of the northern districts of this colony for growing cotton.]1

A report of a later meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, Herald (Melbourne), 15 April 1862, p, 5, states that the letter from M had been published. No published letter to the Chamber of Commerce has been found and it is probable that the letter to the Chamber of Commerce was a copy of M to J. Brooke, 18 April 1861, perhaps enclosed with a covering letter.

Letter not found; item is from a report of the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce held on 13 May 1861, Argus, 15 May 1861, p. 4.
