From Robert Watson to Ferdinand von Mueller   14 Oct 1889

14th Octr. [188]91

My dear Baron,

Some time ago we were shown a printed slip of "Directions" for using your remedy for Snake bite, and we have endeavoured to obtain the apparatus complete for some of our Surveyors who are in snaky country, but the Chemists do not appear to keep it. Will you have the goodness to inform me where the mixture & printed directions for using the same can be procured.

I am, my dear Baron

Yours faithfully

Robt Watson2

Baron Ferd. Von Mueller K.C.M.G. M.D. &c &c
