8th April, 81

Sir

I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 3rd ultimo,

Letter not found.

relative to your book on select plants for industrial culture,

G. Goyder to M, 26 February 1881, had requested a copy of the first edition of M's Select plants. In his reply, M to G. Goyder, 3 March 1881 (in this edition as 81-03-03a), M advised that a NSW edition (B81.01.04) had recently been published.

and to inform you that Mr. Goyder has obtained a copy of the work in question from the Surveyor General of Sydney, also that Messrs. Winneke

Winnecke (1884). At the end of 1880 , W. H. Cornish had based his surveying camp at Parracherna, near Coopers Creek, but no published account or survey has been found concerning that area; the most recent found was Cornish (1880), republished in many newspapers.

and Cornish's explorations were sent to you before your letter of the 3rd ultimo was received.

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

Your obedient servant,

W. C. Gosse

Dep. Surveyor General

Baron Von Mueller
