Melbourne,
30th May, 1882.
Sir,
The Bailiff of Crown Lands at St. Arnaud having forwarded to this Office the accompanying specimen of bark (which he designates black wattle) with a view of ascertaining if it is as good for tanning purposes as the ordinary wattle bark, I beg to request that you will have the goodness to furnish me with the necessary information.
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant
Secretary for Lands.1
Baron Sir F. Von Müeller,
K.C.M.G., F.R.S.,
South Yarra.
