I feel under deep obligation, dear Mr Fraser, for the generous efforts, which his
Excellency has made on my behalf, and which after nearly 30 years toil in Australia
may at last brighten up my future.
Pray convey to his Excellency my grateful acknowledgement of his goodness.

The Governor of WA, W. Robinson, had forwarded to the British authorities M's request
that he be granted land at Sturt's Creek, WA, where he had explored with A. C. Gregory
in 1856. The Colonial Office declined to make the grant; see M to M. Fraser, 7 August 1876, and notes thereto.
Regardfully
Ferd. von Mueller.
