15/4/61.

Dear Professor

This day at last my collections, relinquished in Gipps Land, arrived,

Probably from M's three-week expedition up the Macalister River, Vic, in March 1861.

and I hasten to forward to you the few geological specimens, which in my last trip to the alps I was able to secure. If I shall not take up too much of your valuable time, I would be greatly delighted, if you would let me enjoy some information on these specimens, to which no one could do better justice than yourself.

Ever sincerely yours

Ferd. Mueller.
