Melbourne botan. Garden,
9/10/70.
It affords me very much pleasure, dear Mr Barlee, to introduce to you Mr Joachimi,1 a German Gentleman, who held for about a dozen years a position in our public works Office, he being a C.E.2 and Architect. In the great reductions, which took place here lately in the public service Mr Joachimi's appointment was also discontinued, and he is thus eager to obtain an other scope for his talents, more particularly as he has a young family to support. Mr Joachimi is a man of remarkable ability and of excellent character and he would be a great acquisition to your colony, even if he was only supported by the W. A. public in private practice.
With regardful salutation your
Ferd. von Mueller.
The honorable Fr. Barlee &c &c &c
Colonial Secretary of W. Australia.
