From Ferdinand von Mueller to George Fletcher   7 May 1872

Melbourne bot Garden

7/5/72

It affords me much pleasure, dear Mr Fletcher, to introduce to you Mr Homeyer, a Gentleman, who was educated as a Horticulturist at one of the best school for Gardening in Prussia. Mr Homeyer is anxious to obtain the Curatorship of your public garden, and I feel convinced that, if the Sandhurst1 Council will entrust to him the Administration of its Gardenground, you will gain the services of a zealous and enlightened man.

With best regards

Ferd. von Mueller

M.D., PhD.

Now Bendigo, Vic.
