Melbourne,

16/10/83.

T. R. Wilson Esqr,

Under-Secretary.

Sir.

In reply to your circular N. 47071 I have the honor to inform you, that in the Governments Botanist Department no one is engaged on regular Sunday duty, but that one junior acts as sub-custodian of the botanic Museum, sleeping in the building and staying there also on Sundays, when part of the time he is released by an other junior, neither of them however being engaged in real Sunday-work or receiving Sunday-payment.

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

your very obedient

Ferd. von Mueller.

Circular not found.
