My dear Baron —
Mr Cuthbertson has presented to me your letter of recommendation on behalf of the Royal Geographical Society of Victoria3 —
You may rely upon my doing every thing I can to assist him in carrying out his explorations, and I believe that I shall be able to give him substantial help4 —
Mr Robert Hunter and Mr Hartman of Toowoomba5 have just come in after a rather successful excursion to the summits of the Range near Mount Obree6 —
I am
Dear Baron
Yrs very faithfully
John Douglas
