From William Odgers to Ferdinand von Mueller   13 Dec 1871

Chief Secretary's Office

Melbourne 13th December 1871.

Sir,

I have the honor to transmit herewith two copies of Part XIII of Major Beddome's work on the Flora Sylvatica of Southern India,1 received from the Government of Madras.

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient servant,

W. H. Odgers2

The Director

Botanic Gardens

&c &c &c

Beddome (1869-74). Part 13 is dated 1871 (Turner (2012), p. 303), but the date it was received in Melbourne suggests that it was published before Turner's 'Earliest confirmed date', December 1871. See Lucas (2026) for discussion of the date of publication.

For reply, see M to W. Odgers, 15 December 1871.
