Melbourne Botanic Gardens

March 23rd. 1864

Sir

At a Meeting of the Trustees of the Royal Park held yesterday I was instructed to communicate through the Council of the Acclimatisation Society the desire of the Trustees, that Mr Jos. Mitchell the Gardener of the Park, may be asked to inspect the dead timber of the Park and submit for consideration a proposal for the removal and utilizing of such as can be conveniently spared, some of the wood being evidently suitable for rustic bowers, seats &c

I have the honor to be

Sir

Your obedient servant

sign. F. Mueller

G. Sprigg Esq.

Secretary of the Acclim. Society
