Herewith, dear Dr Agnew, I beg to send you a short dissertation,
which may prove acceptable for your current number of papers, in which — I suppose
— it might perhaps be included by special permission of the R. S.
Council, though you may not have a timely meeting for reading the paper.

B76.13.02. The 'dissertation' is preceded by a letter also seeking publication and praising the
Society for 'providing the most favourable vehicle in Australia for the early record
of new observations'. See M to [J. Agnew], December 1875 (in this edition as 75-12-21a).
