10/8/87.
Your letter, dear Mr Barnard,1 I handed to Mr Macdonald last evening, so that he may bring before the next Council meeting of the geographic Society2 the proposition made by the Club. The Council will very soon come together. Individually I will give the proposition my best support, that large reserves should be made at the Promontory;3 but I would advise, that the Club also press for extensive reservations in the Waratah-Country of East Gippsland,4 "the Australian Switzerland" just opened up.
Regardfully
your
Ferd. von Mueller.
