Dear Baron
At last after a lot of correspondence I have been able to secure you a few more specimens of the plant which I found growing in the boggy ground adjoining a Soda Spring on Kallara Station Darling River. I would like to have got them in a green state but trust they will serve your purpose. The manager1 who kindly sent me the specimens was astonished himself that he had not noticed it before.
Trusting that the specimens will suit you
I am Dear Baron
Yours faithfully
Duncan Carson
