Adelaide, June 1, 1891.
To Baron Von Mueller
Sir Thomas renews promised assistance to Antarctic Expedition conditional that required amount to efficiently equip is absolutely available. Please inform what purpose will be served by visit here of Count Wachtmeister. We desire to relieve Sir Thomas, in present state of health, from approach not absolutely required.
