Melbourne
16/1/69.
Allow me the pleasure, dear Mr Gunn, to introduce to you my distinguished friend, Dr Jam. Rudall,1 our celebrated operative & ophthalmic surgeon. You will, I feel sure much enjoy the acquaintance with this excellent man, [and would] oblige me much if during his brief stay in Launceston you would render his visit as pleasant as possible.
In grateful remembrance of your kindness
Ferd. von Mueller
James Rudall.
