Donald S. Brunton, The Manse, Queenscliff, wrote to the President of the Board of
Land and Works, J. Casey, on 9 May 1873: 'I shall be much obliged if you will instruct
Baron Von Müeller to send me my usual annual supply of flower seeds for my Manse Garden.
I wrote to the Baron a few weeks ago [letter not found]; but I learn from the newspapers
that favours of such kind are to be obtained through you. My request being of a very
minor sort I trust you will kindly accede to it' (L73/8591, unit 750, VPRS 44/P Public
Record Office, Victoria).
Brunton's letter was sent to the Secretary of Agriculture, A. Wallis, who minuted
it as above for M. For M's response, see M to J. Casey, 22 May 1873 (in this edition
as 73-05-22b).
