Melbourne,
20/8/84.
The honorable Graham Berry &c &c
Chief Secretary.
Sir.
I have the honor to recommend for your favorable consideration, that Gerhard Renner may be engaged as Junior Assistant in the Governm. Botanists Establishment vice Léon Henry resigned. The duties to be performed require special knowledge of plants and also particular adaptability for the work to be performed, in both respects Gerh. Renner would fulfill the needful requirements. The engagement, if it met with your approval, would be again only on daily wages, 7/6 per diem, and would only be binding by the week, as was the case before.1
I have the honor to be, Sir,
your obedient servant
Ferd. von Mueller.
Berry approved M's recommendation on 26 August; see T. Wilson to M, 26 August 1884.
