M to A. Gregory, 13 May 1855.
In reply I beg to inform you that his Excellency the Governor General has been pleased
to approve of your appointment as Botanist to the N. A. Expedition.
With reference to the Salary attached. As the subject is still under consideration,
I am only at present authorized to state that it will be the same as that of the other
Scientific Officers who have been appointed in England. But on the final arrangement
of the Salaries will inform you of the exact amount and also of the probable time
when you will be required to join the Expedition in Sydney, should you accept the
appointment.
