Melbourne, 70. Collin Street East,

10 June 1855

Sir

I do myself the honor to inform you, that I shall receive leave of absence from the Victorian Government in order to join, if practicable, the expedition under your command. I shall however be unsupported by our Government during the time.

It is my intention accordingly to present myself at Sydney about a month hereafter, unless my last communications altered your arrangements in my behalf.

Through Sir William Hooker's influence I hope to obtain leave from the Imperial Government to retain a set of those plants gathered during the expedition and to be entrusted with their description and publication.

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

your most obedient and humble servant

Ferd. Mueller,

Gov. Bot. of the Col. Vict.

A. C. Gregory Esq.
