Clifton Spring,

near Drysdale.

Vic.

10/01/84.

This day, dear Mr. Wilson, I received the blank schedule here with your minute thereon.

See T. Wilson to M, 20 December 1883.

May I ask, whether it will be early enough, if I forwarded the return in about one weeks time,

MS annotation by Wilson, 16 January: 'A week hence will be sufficiently early'. M returned the file on 18 January 'with best thanks'.

I should like to stay in the pure air til about the end of next week, as my cough is only to some extent subdued yet. I have here abundance of work, as the daily correspondence is forwarded on to me.

Thus I wish to conduct the correspondence for the next P. & O. mail

i.e. the overseas mail via the P. & O. shipping line.

here, and finish also the 10th Decade of the Eucalyptography.

B84.11.02.

Moreover I would like to consult with you on some points, before I send in the return, as some slight rearrangement of duties of some of the subordinates in my Department is recommendable.

Let me offer, late as it is, my best wishes for the new year to you to your kind Lady and children.

M had already sent season's greetings to Wilson; see M to T. Wilson, 1 January 1884.

Regardfully

your

Ferd. von Mueller
