Melbourne
23/5/76.
The Undersecretary
Sir,
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of the new volume of the Danish Society for Natural History.1
I beg to ask, whether the Agent General has also facilities for return-sendings, and if so, whether such can be sent to that Gentleman direct or must be forwarded through your office.2
I have the honor to be,
Sir, your obedient
Ferd. von Mueller.
See W. Odgers to M, 22 May 1876. The run of Videnskabelige meddelelser Dansk naturhistorisk forening i Københaven at the Library of Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne is incomplete but includes the volume for 1875, which was issued early in 1876 and is therefore probably the volume that M is acknowledging.
On 26 May 1876 the Under Secretary, W. Odgers, noted: 'Any return presentations shd be sent to the Agent General through this Office'.
