My dear Sir

I herewith forward a small box containing leaves and fruit of E. globulus obtained from a bed of that species lately discovered near the Henty River on the surveyed line of the proposed Zeehan railway.

As this is the first discovery of blue gum on the West Coast I thought it advisable to send it to you for identification & record.

I have the honor to be

Yours faithfully

T. B. Moore.
