Baron Ferd. Von Mueller

In reply to your letter of the 26th2 instant wherein you apply to become a naturalised British Subject in this Colony I am directed by His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor to inform you and at the same time to express his regret that under the conditions of the Naturalisation Act 35 Victoria No. 2 he is unable to entertain your application in as much as it does not appear that you have come to reside in the Colony with the intention of settling therein.

R. T. G.
