Melbourne botan. Garden

14/9/63.

Sir

I have the honor to solicit, that you will be pleased to sanction the expenditure of five hundred thirty pounds Sterling (£530.- .-) being the balance available for wages from the vote of this establishment for the current year.

I further beg to request, that twenty pounds Sterling (£20.- .-) available yet for travelling expenses may also be placed at my disposal.

M had previously requested the £20 for travelling expenses and had apparently agreed to defer seeking the sum until needed (M to J. McCulloch, 3 July 1863, and notes thereto). Approval of M's requests was minuted to this letter.

I have the honor to be

Sir,

your most obedient & humble servant

Ferd. Mueller.

The honorable the Chief Secretary
