2/3/84.

From a forest-locality in Gippsland, dear Sir Joseph, I write these few lines to inform you, that a new regulation has come into force here, according to which Gov. Publications will no longer be distributed by the Heads of Departments, but by a newly created “Premier’s Office[”],

editorial addition.

which has got a special staff, on whom inter alia the sending off of Gov. publications henceforth devolves.

As the 9th Decade of the Eucalyptography

B83.13.07.

is out, I have no doubt you will receive it through the Channel indicated. The 10th is also printed, but the Keys for the whole ten decades, to go with it, are not yet completed, as I cannot finish them away from my poor Office place.

No botanical keys were issued with the 10th Decade, B84.13.09, but a number of indexes and general material referring to the whole work were included.

I went to this silvan region for my health, and conduct here Office work and some litterary work; but my cough is not subdued yet, and I feel very week and have no desire for food yet, altho’ the nocturnal perspirations ceased.

Regardfully your

Ferd. von Mueller.
