Melbourne 10/10/74
By this post, dear Mr Ramsay, I have written to Commodore Goodenough,1 concerning our desire to proceed in the Pearl to N. G., and explained also the main objects of our trip.2 Young Baron Huegel3 is also anxious to get a passage. Be so kind not to speak on the subject, as I have not yet mentioned the matter to my Ministerial Chief.
Regardfully your
Ferd von Mueller.
I have just heard from Rev Dr Woolls,4 that you have obtained the honorable post as Curator of the Museum, which will open you a glorious path.5 Accept my best gratulation.
