2/12/93.

G. Bell Esqr,

Acting Under-Secretary.

Sir

May I solicit, that the hon. the Chief Secretary will be pleased in granting me 25 copies of the "second Census of Australian Plants,"2 to aid me in my extensive litterary interchange abroad The work is not illustrated, therefore quite inexpensive, and can well be spared at the Governments Printing Office.3

I have the honor to be,

Sir, your obedient servant

Ferd. von Mueller,

Gov. Botanist

The Chief Secretary, J. Patterson, approved M's request on 6 December 1893, and it was forwarded immediately to R. Brain, the Government Printer, 'to supply'. Brain replied on 13 December to say the books had been sent to M.
