[A parcel of sugar beet seed forwarded by Baron Von Mueller was divided amongst councillors to distribute as they thought best.]
Letter not found. The text given here is from 'Correspondence', in the report of the meeting of the Portland Shire Council held on 9 December 1893 (Hamilton spectator, 14 December 1893, p. [3]). The seeds were probably sent around the middle of November when seed was distributed to other councils; see M to T. Easton, 16 November 1893 (in this edition as 93-11-16b) and notes thereto.
