26/5/80

Allow me to ask you, dear Mr Kippist, whether an application form has reached you for the F.LS, for which honor I wished to propose Mr Charles Hugh Fawcett, now Member of the Legislative Assembly for the District of the Richmond River, Clarence River & Brunswick River, a very large electorate in N.S. Wales.

See Fawcett's nomination form (in this edition as 80-01-00b).

Should the application have been miscarried, then please fill out one on the behalf of the Rev. Will. Woolls, Rob Fitzgerald Esq & myself, who were Mr Fawcett’s sponsors.

Fawcett was elected on 2 December 1880, his certificate having been read on 4 November.

Regardfully your

Ferd.von Mueller.
