7/5/66

I have much pleasure, dear Mr Knight, in introducing to you the Gentleman, whom Count de Castelnau recommends as Subsecretary to the French Exhibition.

Exposition Universelle, Paris, 1867, for which many of the exhibits at Melbourne's 1866 Intercolonial Exhibition were destined.

Since it is likely, that you will be consociated with Mons. Lissignol for a series of months in the promotion of the French Exhibition, I deem it a duty to afford Mr Lissignol an opportunity of an interview with you at an early moment. I have known Mr Lissignol since several years & can bear out the zeal & talent & knowledge he always displayed when I came with him in contact.

I am, dear Sir,

your regardful

Ferd. Mueller.
