I have the honor to acknowledge receipt signed J. A. Levey acting Secretary Department agriculture of the 24th instant A.d. 47/73 desiring me to furnish him with a list of plants in my care.
In reply I would respectfully say that I received a memorandum under date 17th January from Dr Mueller Director of the Botanic Garden [memorandum not found] stating that on no account was I to furnish any list except through him under the circumstances I realy do not know how to act
awaiting further instructions I have the honor to be Sir your most obedient Servant
