It seems, dear Mr Odgers, that Mr Ferres cannot proceed with the binding of the bot school-book,1 until he learns, that the sample of binding, as shown by the proof-copy (forwarded to your office) meets with ministerial approval. I am very eager, that the little work in the interest of my Department should soon appear. Is it in your power to expedite the matter.2
Regardfully
Ferd. von Mueller.

On 12 July Odgers minuted the Secretary for Education: 'Perhaps Mr Venables wd enable me to deal with this Memo. The Chief Secretary thought the linen binding very suitable.' Venables replied on 17 July that he thought 'the binding very suitable', and Odgers forwarded the message to M.
