From Andrew Grant   March 1881

Hillston1 March 1881

Baron

I take the liberty of enclosing the twigs of a tree growing from 20 to 30 feet high — the leaves are excellent food for sheep horses and pigs but cattle (Bovine) dont care to seek for this food. There are seven mature seeds in those sent. It is a tree much like the Gejera Salicifolia.2 I will not forget the fungus

I have the honor to be

Baron

Your much obliged Servant

A. N. Grant
