From Ferdinand von Mueller to George Kerferd   [July 1862]1

[Cr. KERFERD gave notice that he would … ask the Council for £20 to introduce the Murray cod into the Reservoir. Even in summer, there were several holes that would sustain this fish, and from a communication he had from Dr Mueller, it appeared it was the most suitable fish for the Lake.]2

Letter not found. For the text given here, see report of the meeting of the Beechworth Municipal Council of 1 August 1862 (Ovens and Murray advertiser, 2 August 1862, p. 2).

Later, '£5 was voted for this purpose'.
