From George Seymour Fort   5 October 1887

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

MELBOURNE.

5/10/87

Dear Baron Von Mueller —

With reference to the meeting to welcome Mr Cuthbertson1 I am desired by His Excellency the Governor2 to ask you if the 11th of November (Friday) would be a suitable date. His Excellency cannot at this distance of time promise definitely but he would be glad to know if that date would suit the Geographical Society.3

Believe me

yrs sincerely

G. Seymour Fort
