To Joseph Maiden1    6 May 1887

6./5./87.

 

I am grateful to your Institution's Committee, dear Mr Maiden, for the concession, made to Mr Bäuerlen, and beg of you, to thank the honored Gentlemen for their kind consideration towards Mr Baeuerlen.2

As agreed I will find £20 - - for him also, so that he ought to be able, to make an exhaustive search this spring in the N. W. corner of your colony. He can then simultaneously add to your collections of dried plants in the technologic Museum, and the same he should do, while he is collecting woods for you in the South.

I presume you will get him a free railway-pass for the N. W. tour to Bourke, and some introductions to settlers beyond, who might be willing, to further his progress and show him some hospitality. Such a remote region is not much troubled with visitors.

Regardfully your

Ferd. von Mueller.
