Will you be so good, dear Mr Boyle, to send me one load of long tea tree, as soon as you conveniently can.
For your notes on the timber I feel much indebted; they fall pretty well in with my own views.
As regards your getting permission to remove fern trees from the black spur

Black Spur, near Narbethong, Vic.
I would remark, that when you come to town it would be best for you to see the president of the Board of Lands personally, with a view of being freed of the expenditure, if that can be conceded to you
With best wishes
Ferd. von Mueller
