Melbourne botan Garden,

27/8/68.

Sir

I have the honor to enquire, whether you desire to give me any instructions regarding any final or decisive action, which I should take as a Gov. member of the Board of Agriculture in reference to the object to remodel the Board, in as much as I am eager to guard against the possibility that I may enunciate views, which may not be in consonance with the decisions of the Government. Should you not desire to convey to me any instructions, I will be careful in stating to the Board during the pending deliberations, that whatever measures I may urge, are brought forward on my individual views only, and I shall neither fail to watch the interests of the Government in the proceedings.

I have the honor to be,

Sir

your obedient servant

Ferd. Mueller

The honorable the President of the Board of Land & Works.
