From Robert Watson to Ferdinand von Mueller   5 Aug 1885

5 August1

My dear Baron

Will you let me introduce Mr Peyton Jones, an officer of this Department who will submit, for your opinion, two samples of timber from Gippsland.2 I shall esteem it a favor if you will examine them.

Yours truly,

Robt Watson3

Baron Von Mueller &c &c

Dated to 1885 on account of the position of the MS in the file and because M's response dated 5 August 1885 refers to specimens received 'this day'.

Vic.
