Sir,

At a meeting of the Victorian Horticultural Improvement Society held on Monday evening 26th ult.

At the meeting of the Society on 26 February 1866, it was agreed that since the Society 'had liberally responded to the request of Dr Mueller for specimens of Fruits to be modelled, the Secretary be instructed to write to Dr Mueller requesting that Copies of the models be supplied to this Society'.

I was instructed to enquire if you will be kind enough to furnish the Society with duplicate models of what fruits you have prepared for the Paris Exhibition.

Exposition Universelle, Paris, 1867.

I have thge honor to be, Sir,

Your obedient Servant

Thos Purves, Hon Secy
