Melbourne,
13/10/74.
The honorable
Rob. Ramsay, M.L.A.,
Chief Secretary.
Sir
I have the honor to inform you, that I am proceeding this day in the Steamer Pharos to Wilson's promontory, for continuing there some phytologic researches commenced on that place in 1853.1 It is likely that I shall be back at the end of this or the beginning of next week. Mr. Luehmann, my Assistant, is left in charge of the Department during my absense.
I have the honor to be,
Sir, your obedient servant.
Ferd. von Mueller.
M had requested a map of Wilson’s Promontory (Vic.) on 3 October (letter not found), and it was supplied with A. Skene to M, 9 October 1874.
