From Andrew Berry to Ferdinand von Mueller   9 Aug 1883

August 9. 1883.

Sir,

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your esteemed favor of yesterday's date accompanying Copy of the lecture you were kind enough to deliver at this Institution last year, translated into the "Geographische Mittheilungen," of Gotha, Germany.¹ — The Honorable the President and members of the Council will I am sure be highly gratified to learn that the lecture has been considered sufficiently important to find a place in a Journal of such high repute. — I shall bring the matter under the notice of the Council at their next meeting — in the meantime permit me on their behalf to tender you their acknowledgements for the many and valuable services you have rendered to the interests of science generally and to this Institution particularly. I forward under separate cover copy of the Lectures²

I have the honor to be

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant

Andw Berry

Registrar
