Melbourne botanic Garden,

27. May 1862.

Sir

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, dated 26 May, and beg in reply to inform you, that I shall be happy to place such plants at Mr Hyndman's disposal for the Municipality ground, as I have available at this establishment for this years distribution.

Already extensive supplies having been obtained this season I beg to suggest, that Mr Hyndman should receive the plants which he desires within the next days, since by the numerous applications the supply of available plants will be soon exhausted

Mr Hyndman will find me ready to attend to his requirements any morning at 9.

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

your obedient servant

Ferd. Mueller

Director of the bot. Garden

E. Fitzgibbon Esq &c &c &c

Townclerk of Melbourne.
