Saturday night
Can you kindly inform me, dear Mr. Odgers, whether the Ballarat farmers club did receive a copy of the educational collection? If not, I could take one up, if yet one to spare, and present it on behalf of Mr Ramsay, should the honorable Gentleman approve of it.1
Regardfully yr
Ferd. von Mueller
The letter is minuted: 'This Society has not been supplied from this office. Here are still some spare copies A.G. 11.5.75.' Robert Ramsay replied: 'Forward copy RR 12.5.75'.W. Odgers to M, 14 May 1875, enclosed a set of the Educational Collection for presentation to the Ballarat Farmers' Club, to which M was to present a lecture on 15 May.
The item is dated to 8 May, based on it being the Saturday before 'A.G.' (probably Arthur Greenwood, appointed as a cklerk in 1867) wrote the minute for Odgers, and Odgers sent the material to M.
