W.H. Odgers Esqr,
Undersecretary
Sir,
I have the honor to inform you, that I am required to proceed with the Commissioners to enquire into the Wattle question for the next two weeks in Gippsland, and that accordingly I shall start early to morrow.

The Commissioners departed by train 'at daybreak', made a brief examination of some tracts of bushland at Warragul, and arrived at Sale about midday (Age, 1 April, 1878, p. 3).
Any communications will reach me in Gippsland, as I shall be able to obtain my letters from time to time during the journey.

The file has been initiall ed by Odgers.
I have the honor to be,
Sir, your obedient servant
Ferd. von Mueller.
