MEMO for

The right Honourable the Baron Von Mueller

Melbourne.

FROM

Alexr Gray & Co.

I have three small plots of Lucerne growing one of which is attacked by a parasite (as enclosed) that completely kills the lucerne

Would you kindly let me know if you can suggest any remedy — I may add that thinking it was some species of water plant I tried to kill it by hot stable manure and soot but all to no purpose.

I remain

Yours most respectfully

Alex Gray
