Mitchell Q.L.1
January 1st 1886.
Dr Mueller
Dear Sir
I send you a few plants which I have gathered lately, and which I hope may be of some use to you. We have not much Salt bush about here, only a small sort that grows in bunches at the roots of Myall trees. I would like to know the name of the little white flower of which I send a small bunch. it is very sweetly scented and Stock are very fond of it it is a climbing Vine whenever it gets a chance to climb amongst bushes but it is generally eaten down. I should also like to know the name of the plant marked A. cattle are also very fond of it, it grows as a creeper on all the river flats — I also enclose an ear of the grass I spoke of. — The grass you so kindly sent me is coming up — We have had fine rain lately and there are a great number of bush flowers out. I hope to be able to get you a few more shortly
remaining
Yours truly
R. Copland Lethbridge
