11/5/70
Last night, dear Mr Tulk, I got a note from Mr Bindon, desiring that the botanical collections or rather vegetable products in the new Exhibition building should be systematically arranged. Will you be so good to let Mr Hoffmann, the bearer of this line, look at these collections that I may know preliminarily what time will be required for the work, what accommodation can be afforded &c1
your regardful
Ferd. von Mueller
