Melbourne,
7/12/83
The honorable Graham Berry, M.L.A.,
Chief Secretary.
Sir
I have the honor to inform you, that I returned last evening from the mild lower regions of Mt Macedon, to which to go for the sake of my health you kindly allowed.1 Altho' my cough has lessened in severity, it may be necessary to seek the pure air of the country again, and I would therefore beg to ask your permission to proceed to some secluded healthy rural place soon for a few weeks more,2 it being understood, that I conduct my office duties there, the correspondence being sent on to me and my literary work going on in the country as well.3
I have the honor to be,
Sir, your obedient servant
Ferd. von Mueller.
