Melbourne, bot. Garden

6 June 1857

My dear Mr Gregory,

Having written twice to you since my return,

M to A. Gregory, two letters dated 4 June 1857 (in this edition as 57-06-04 and 57-06-04b).

I wished only to accompany the little book, which will give you the information on Leichhardts second expedition with a few lines.

Bunce (1857), the final chapter of which is devoted to Leichhardt's second expedition of which Bunce was a member. See M to A. Gregory, 13 June 1857 (in this edition as 57-06-13a).

Major Christie will be kind enough to take it with him. My friends here are anxious to deliver soon, a lecture,

B58.05.03. M delivered a lecture 'An historical review of the explorations of Australia' at the monthly meeting of the Philosophical Institute of Victoria, 25 November 1857. After the lecture 'An animated discussion ensued', in which the Governor, H. Barkly, the President A. Clarke, W. Blandowski, M 'and others', took part. See Transactions of the Philosophical Institute of Victoria , vol. 2 (1858), p. xlviii.

but I find it very difficult to gather all the data requisite, and doubt even, if all books necessary are obtainable.

yours most devotedly

Ferd Mueller

A. C. Gregory Esq
