Melbourne,
27 June 1885.
To the honorable Graham Berry, M.L.A.
Chief Secretary
Sir.
I have the honor to report, that on the 30th June 1885 I shall reach my 60th year; but as I am able to continue my duties of Governments Botanist quite well and have directed the whole studies of my life for that duty, I beg to solicit, that I may be allowed to continue in the service of the Government in the position of Governments Botanist.1
I have the honor to be,
Sir, your obedient servant
Ferd. von Mueller.
