Honored Sir
Should you have from the last gatherings in your garden, seeds of any pasture grasses and fodder herbs, exclusive of such as are already of world-wide culture, then I should feel much indebted to you for a small supply for test-culture in this colony. Australian seeds will be sent in reciprocation
Regardfully yours
Baron Von Mueller
M.D.
