From Ferdinand von Mueller to Albert Purchas   2 May 1871

Melbourne bot Garden

2/5/71

It will afford me much pleasure, dear Mr Purchas, to supply you with such young pines and other plants, as the reduced means of my department allow me to furnish.1 Be so good to prepare the ground at once and let your gardener bring a sketch of the ground when he comes for the plants.

Your regardful

Ferd. von Mueller
