Sir,

The Exploratory Committee much regret the mistake made with reference to Mr Froggatt it is however now arranged for him to fill s[ome] post other than that of Botanist, and, according to instructions, I telegraphed you this morning asking that you would, [as]2 offered, kindly secure a Botanic collector at not more than £15 per month.3

I remain, Sir,

Your obedient servant

E. Pulsford

Acting Secry

Baron Von Mueller K.C.M.G.
