To Henry Parkes   1 November 1887

Melbourne,

1/11/87.

The honorable Sir Henry Parkes, K.C.M.G.,

Premier of New South Wales.

 

Allow me, dear Sir Henry, to introduce to you a relative of myself, F. E. Harris1 Esq. of Silverton,2 who particularly asks me to recommend him to your kind consideration, as he is eager to carry through some business with the Department for Mines in Sydney, which objects he feels sure your own great influence would facilitate.

Let me remain,

dear Sir Henry,

regardfully your

Ferd. von Mueller.

Frederick Edward Harris, brother of the husband of M's niece Bertha Wehl, George Adolphus Harris.
