Best thanks, dear Mr Bradshaw, for the important information, afforded by you.1 It can only refer to Leichhardt's perished party, as we in Gregory's Expedition early in 18552 lost no axe.
It will afford me very great pleasure indeed to make to morrow the personal acquaintance also of your honored Lady3 and kind Sister.4
With regardful remembrance your
Ferd. von Mueller5
Letter not found.
North Australian Exploring Expedition, 1855-6.
Mary Bradshaw, née Guy.
Joseph Bradshaw had three sisters. The one mentioned was probably Charlotte (1858-1941).
Pasted to the other half of the sheet is a separate sheet with words and music, in Bradshaw's hand, headed 'Air Gramachree'.
