3/2/64.

Dear Sir

I am obliged for the promptness with which you forwarded to me Dr Lhotzkys little book.

MS inserted in a copy of J. Lhotsky, Journey to the Australian Alps, 1835. This copy is inscribed by Wise as belonging to him.

I have glanced through it, but if it containes at all any thing of importance regarding the Australian Alps it must be in that portion, which is wanting in your copy . It would however appear, that it was Lhotzky who named or first made known the Snowy River.

I shall feel greatly obliged for any contributions towards the knowledge of the language of our aborigines & see it properly turned to account & acknowledged.

With kind regards

Ferd. Mueller

Dr Lhotzkys book is returned by this mail.
