4th January, 811
Sir,
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 29th November last, suggesting that a list of the plants collected by the late Deputy Surveyor General2 be appended to his journal, and to state, that unfortunately the journals were reprinted before your letter was received, or the suggestion contained therein, would have been carried out.3
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your obedient servant,
F. R. C. Frost
pro Surveyor General
Baron Von Mueller
Melbourne.
The letter is a reply to M to G. Goyder, 29 November 1881 (in this edition as 81-11-29a). Frost has evidently given the incorrect year.
William Christie Gosse died on 12 August 1881 (South Australian advertiser, 13 August 1881, p. 6).
Gosse (1874) was a Parliamentary Paper. Reissues are not separately listed in the Schedule of the papers laid before both houses… from June, 1881 to the end of the year 1900. Details of a reissue have not been found.
