Melbourne bot Garden
23/4/73.
In my principal letter through the Colonial Office, dear Dr Hooker, I have already apprized you of my having sent by the P. & O. Steamer a small box with samples of products of tar, of which I now enclose a list.2 The Company has taken the case free to Southampton.
With best regards
Ferd. von Mueller
MS annotation by Hooker: 'And [Jul] [5]/73'. Letter not found.
