To Edward Pulsford   29 June 1885

29/6/85

 

Last week, dear Mr Pulsford, the Hamilton-Spectator1 evidently on imperfect information criticized some of the Arrangements for the N Guinea Expedition,2 to which with the concurrence of Mr M'Donald3 I replied, the Editor having in fairness inserted my letter.4 I send you the print,5 as possibly the original article, which called forth my reply, may come under the notice of the Exploration Committee.

Regardfully your

Ferd von Mueller.
