In Despatch No 56, 24 July 1863 (National Archives, London, CO 309/63, Despatches
January to 11 August 1863, ff. 541-2), Barkly enclosed M to H. Barkly, 15 July 1863, and recommended that a further attempt at introduction be made, following the suggestions
made by M. The suggstions were supported by James Francis, Victorian Commissioner
for Trade and Customs, in a memorandum to Barkly, 23 July 1863, also enclosed in the
despatch (f. 545). The Colonial Office wrote to the Foreign office requesting that
the Consul at Jeres de la Frontera be asked to send more vines iin the manner suggested
by M (draft at f. 546).
On 10 December 1863, the Colonial Secretary, the Duke of Newcastle, wrote to the new
Governor of Victoria, Charles Darling, forwarding a copy of a letter from the British
Vice Consul at Jerez de la Frontera stating that 'at the proper season, in the manner
suggested by the Colonial Botanist, other specimens of the vines' would be sent to
the Government of Victoria (No. 46, unit 16, VPRS 1087, PROV).

I am directed by the Governor to forward for your information a Copy of a Despatch
