Melbourne bot Garden
25/7/71.
Sir
Altho' the season is so far advanced and the strong plants in my nurseries were given away weeks ago, I will endeavour to find yet what you require for the public Garden of Warnambool,1 if you will early send for them and let me know through your Agent for how many trees and how many shrubs the ground is actually prepared.
Could you oblige me by sending me a cornbag ful of fresh seaweeds containing as many different kinds as possible, such as after a gale are washed up in your harbour. The Captains of the Steamers usually oblige me by taking such consignments, intended for scientific purposes, free of freight
your regardful
Ferd von Mueller
