From Edward Schneider, Charles Birch, Charles, Birch to Ferdinand von Mueller   [Sep 1870]

[Dr. Von Mueller has again received intelligence from the Barcoo,1 on this occasion from Messrs. Schneider and Birch, that most undoubtedly a white man is wandering with the native tribes beyond the Thomson River. Many reasons point to the probability that this is a survivor of Leichhardt’s unfortunate party.]
