Melbourne bot Garden
3/5/69.
Honored and dear Sir
Much do I regret having missed your kind visit and that of Mr Grant1 & Mr Seller.2 From four til past 5 I stayed at the upper portion of Princes Bridge, and yet you must have passed unobserved by me.
I feel much indebted for the interest you evince in the new work of the garden, and I hope, that at some leisure day, perhaps some Saturday afternoon or holyday, you and your Lady will allow me the privilege to conduct you over the ground.
With best regards
Ferd. von Mueller3
