Letter not found. The text given here is from the report of a paper, 'The cause of rust in wheat', read before the Ballarat Agricultural and Pastoral Society by Josiah Mitchell on 6 February 1869 (Ballarat star, 9 February 1869, p. 4).
[The lecturer here produced a number of diagrams which had been prepared and sent to the society by Dr. Mueller, showing in a highly-magnified form, the appearances produced in wheat in the various stages of the disease. … Mr G. G. Morton moved, and Mr T. Bath seconded, a vote or thanks to Dr Mueller for the set of diagrams sent to the society.]
