To the honorable Graham Berry, M.L.A.
Chief Secretary.
Sir.
I have the honor to inform you, that in accordance with your kind permission1 I am proceeding now to the country for some days for the improvement of my health, but that after fuller consideration I have chosen the Mt. Macedon station for my stay, on account of the mountain-air and the vicinity of the forests. I shall daily receive my letters and other communications there, and remain in constant communication with my office.2
I have the honor to be
Sir
Your obedient servant
Ferd. von Mueller.
