Surveyor General's Office

Adelaide 21 Oct. 1868

Sir,

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 6th Instant and to inform you, that if I go to the Northern Territory a collector, nominated by Dr Schomburgk, will accompany me — and any suggestions you think it desirable to make shall be carefully attended to.

The Collector who has been nominated is named Schulze who takes his son with him

Frederick Schultze and Alfred Schultze.

and his time is to be devoted wholly to the Government and he is to collect specimens of Botany & Natural History.

In his reply, M to G. Goyder, 30 October 1868, M offered to prepare an account of the specimens if he could be supplied with a set. See also M to A. Cooper, 15 May 1869 (in this edition as 69-05-15b) and J. Blackmore to M, 26 May 1869 (in this edition as 69-05-26b).

I have the honor to be

Sir

Your obedient Servant

G. W. Goyder

Surveyor General

To Mueller Esq &c F.R.S.
