Sir,

I have the honor, by direction of the Chief Secretary, to transmit herewith the document noted in the margin,1 received from the Govt of India.

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

Marginal annotation: 'Flora Sylvatica part 27'. A second copy was forwarded to the Minister of Agriculture on the same day. Beddome (1869-74); Turner (2012), p. 303, reports that part 27 is dated 1873, but it was received in Melbourne before his 'Earliest confirmed date', October 1873. See Lucas (2026) for discussion of the date of publication.
