Accept my best thanks, dear Mr Goyder, for sending me the very elaborate map of your survey at Port Darwin,

Possibly an early copy of ‘General plan showing natural features of the country, towns, reserves, roads & sectional lands at, and in the vicinity of Port Darwin, Northern Territory of South Australia surveyed during 1869 by Mess'rs. Woods ... [et al.] and Mess'rs Thomas ... [et al.] under direction of the Surveyor General’, published in1872: see the National Library of Australia digitized copy: http://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-232276316 .
a piece of work which reflects indeed much credit on your administration. I shall have an opportunity to utilize the map for geographic purposes
your regardful
Ferd. von Mueller
