F. Mueller Esqre MD FRS

Melbourne

 

I am directed by His Excellency Governor Hampton to acknowlege your letter of the 27th Ultimo,2 and to thank you for the several suggestions therein made. It is not the Governor's intention at present to any further steps regarding exploration of new country, but he will duly consider your proposal of the employment of Dromedaries in the event of an exploring party being formed in this Colony.

F. P. B.
