Melbourne botanic Garden,
26/5/64
Sir
In acknowledgement of your letter of 25 May1 I have the honor to assure the trustees2 of the General Cemetry that I shall always feel a pleasure in contributing from my department any available plants for the ground on which so many that have been dear to us have found a resting place.
If any ground should be prepared for the reception of pines in the beginning of August I could supply you many hundred seedlings previously transplanted and then one year old of various South European firs.
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
your most obedient & humble servant
Ferd. Mueller
A. Purchas Esq.
&c &c &c3
