From Ferdinand von Mueller to the Echuca Borough Council   [Apr 1869]

[From Dr Mueller, asking what (trees or plants) Mr Pascoe1 would require for planting the municipal ground this year. He supposed that the ground had been already trenched, and that holes had been sunk for the trees.2 Though the attempt was not successful, he felt deeply obliged to Mr Pascoe for the prompt and energetic manner in which he had exerted himself to send down the Murray cod fish some time before.3

The Town Clerk read a letter which he had written in reply, pointing out the trees which would be required.4]
