I congratulate you, dear Mr Goyder, on your safe return from Arnhem's Land and on the successful completion of your surveys there. Pray be so kind to arrange that a full set of the plants & seeds &c, collected by Mr Schultz, will be forwarded to my establishment for examination.

i.e. Frederick Schultze, the SA Government collector with Goyder.

I could then furnish a brief report thereon. I have written officially on this subject also to the Director of the bot. Garden of Adelaide.

See M to R. Schomburgk, 15 November 1869.
