Sir
I have the honor to inform you, that I proceed this day for a stay of about one week and a half to Western Port with a view of completing some botanic investigations, for which you were pleased to allow me three weeks absense from home, only half that time being devoted to the purpose on the previous occasion.1
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
your most obedient and humble servant
Ferd. Mueller.
The honorable the Chief Secretary
