Melbourne bot. Garden,
2/2/67
It affords me great pleasure to introduce to you, dear Mr Gunn, the Gentleman, who brings this letter, Mr Bissill, who has on my suggestion kindly undertaken to collect generally the plants of the remotest North East of Tasmania, which quarter, as you are best aware has never yet been fully examined. If during the limited period of Mr Bissills stay in Tasmania you can facilitate the attainment of his object I shall be the more obliged as he is not in the best of health.

Gunn provided the assistance requested, see M to R. Gunn, 10 April 1867.
Let me remain, venerable and dear Sir, your regardful
Ferd. Mueller.
Ronald Gunn Esq
