Melbourne,

18 Jan. 1892

T. R. Wilson Esqr,

Under Secretary.

Sir.

I have the honor to report, that after kind permission of the honorable the Chief Secretary I shall start this afternoon for Adelaide, to consult personally with Sir Thomas Elder about the early arrangements for Baron Nordenskiolds south-polar expedition and Mr Linsays2 present Central Australian Explorations. As this is merely a hurried tour in my position as President of the Victorian Branch of the Royal geographic Society of Australia, I shall return to the Gov. Botanist's office in the course of this week.3

I have the honor to be,

Sir, your obedient servant

Ferd. von Mueller.
