Melbourne bot Garden
14/11/67.
Honorable & dear Sir.
I beg to acquaint you of my return from King Georges Sound this morning, greatly invigorated by the voyage & land journey, for which you afforded me so kindly an opportunity, and I shall not fail to wait on you.1 I brought with me a large number of plants both for the Garden & the botanical Museum.2
With profound regards
Ferd. Mueller.
