To Joseph Maiden   31 March 1885

31/3/85

 

Best thanks, dear Mr Maiden, for sending me your report, which shows the florishing state of your Museums.1 If you not yet have already my "Eucalyptography", of which ten Decades have appeared,2 I should advise, to apply to the hon. James Service the Premier of Victoria for a copy. All Victorian Gov. publications are issued through the Premier's Office, and I feel sure, that a copy of this work would gladly be supplied to you, if desired.3

Regardfully

your

Ferd. von Mueller
