Melbourne bot. Garden

Sir

I have the honor to submit for your favorable consideration, an application of the Horticultural Society for the use of the botanic Garden on the 11th November, when the spring show is to be held. It has been usual to make this concession to the Society, but on an understanding, that although entrees are charged, such are not absolutely enforced from those, who may object to such pay.1

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

your obedient servant

Ferd. von Mueller,

Direct. botan. Garden

The honorable the Chief Secretary
