From Ferdinand von Mueller to Augustus Tulk   28 Jan 1863

Phillip Island1

28/1/63.

Dear Mr Tulk.

During my short stay in Melbourne I had not leisure enough to acknowledge the receipt of the 3 vol. of the Novara Exped.,2 which I found at my house when returning from the Snowy mountains, and for the transmission of which I owe you my best thanks. Sir Redmond Barry was so friendly to send me the Library Catalogue & Exhibition Essays3 through your hand most elegantly bound.

Pray give Sir Redmond on his return my kindest regard & inform him, that I shall wait on him & bring the volume in which the plant dedicated to him has been inserted.4 Mr President Bentham has introduced the plant also into the 1 vol of the Australian Flora5 now under the press in London.

Most regardfully your

Ferd. Mueller
