From Henry Barkly to Ferdinand von Mueller   24 July 1861

Toorak

24th July 1861

My dear Dr Mueller,

I return your letter to Sir William Hooker.1 I think your offer in regard to Mr Bentham's proposed Flora of Australia is most generous and liberal, & I will give it every support in writing to Sir William.2 I am too busy at the moment in preparing for the Mail to say more.

I have read the letters which you kindly encl[osed] & send them back with thanks.3

[Ever] [faithfully]

Henry Barkly.
