W.H. Odgers Esqr,

Undersecretary

Sir,

I have the honor to inform you, that I am required to proceed with the Commissioners to enquire into the Wattle question for the next two weeks in Gippsland, and that accordingly I shall start early to morrow.1 Any communications will reach me in Gippsland, as I shall be able to obtain my letters from time to time during the journey.2

I have the honor to be,

Sir, your obedient servant

Ferd. von Mueller.
