First registered as A84/2721 in the Chief Secretary's Department, then referred to the Premier.

Melbourne,

21. March 1884.

The honorable Graham Berry, M.L.A., Chief Secretary &c

Sir,

I have the honor to inform you, that I have received one hundred copies of the 9th Decade of the Eucalyptography

B84.04.04.

from the Gov. Printing Office in accordance with former arrangements; but as new regulations are now in force, requiring distributions of Gov. Publications to be made through the Office of the hon. the Premier, I would beg for your instructions in this case.

Thinking that it may facilitate the departmental distribution, I have the honor to submit a list of 93 Recipients, who would be fairly entitled to this new decade of the Eucalyptography in interchange for publications received from them; further the names of seven proposed recipients are mentioned, from whom the Department has important botanic Collections. I presume it will devolve on me, to send the 100 Copies to the office of hon the Premier, if the subjoined list is approved of.

This letter was forwarded to the Premier, J. Service, on 27 March. On 10 April the Secretary to the Premier, E. Thomas, responded: 'Mr Service directs me to enquire whether the preceding decade was supplied to the proposed recipients in the within List.' M was duly asked to supply the information, which he did (see M to T. Wilson, 21 April 1884), whereupon the Premier approved the proposed distribution.
