From Ferdinand von Mueller to Edward Symonds   14 Aug 1868

Botanic Garden

14 August 1868

Sir

After my return to the garden I instructed Mr Heyne to wait on you merely with the intention of pointing out, that there was an unexpended balance of the first half of the Votes for Publishing Works on Australian Plants or for Forage placed under Authority of expenditure, to which, as you suggested, the advance I applied for this morning might perhaps be temporarily charged. I trust you will not consider my having done so as a desire of unduly urging this matter.

I have the honor to be

Sir,

your obedient

Ferd. Mueller1

E. S. Symonds Esq

Under-Treasurer
