My dear Baron von Miller:

I am exceedingly obliged for your letter of the 30th of October1 which I find here on my return from a short visit to Paris and London.

I hasten to thank you for the interest you are taking in the Silva2 which has been a very heavy undertaking for me, and I have asked the publishers to put themselves in communication with the librarian of the public library at Melbourne and of the Melbourne University with a view to these institutions becoming subscribers to the work. You may be sure that I shall be very grateful for any assistance you may be able to give us either in Melbourne or in other parts of Australia.

With renewed thanks and best wishes for the new year,

I am, my dear Sir,

very faithfully yours,

C. S. Sargent

Baron Ferdinand von Miller,

Melbourne, Australia.
