On 21 September Groener wrote in reply to a letter Walker wrote on 16 September [letter not found]: '… I would advise you to send a sample copy to Mess. Robertson & Co Bookseller through their agents in Sydney and I will do my best to get subscribers and [as?] will Baron von Mueller'.
He wrote again on 17 October: 'I herewith return the 3 plates which I have shown to the different libraries and bookseller[s] but could not [get] an answer at once. I shall do my best to assist you and so will the Baron von Mueller. You ought to put into Mr Robertsons Agents hands who is the best for these things.'
Yours most obedient Servant
C. A. Groener
