Melbourne bot. Garden,
19. Sept. 1863.
Sir
I have the honor of submitting a letter from my assistant,
1
E. Heyne to M, 19 September 1863.
in whose sentiments I fully concur & having on various occasions remonstrated against the bathing at the bot. Gardens landing place unsuccessfully, I trust you will kindly aid me by your official influence in suppressing an evil, to which I see no cessation except by the positive prohibition of bathing at any hour at any place on the river except the locality specially selected at the bathing house.
2
E. FitzGibbon to M, 21 September 1863, reported that the letter would be placed before the City Council.
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
your most obedient servant
Ferd. Mueller.
E. Fitzgibbon Esq &c &c &c
Townclerk
