Walhalla

Vic. All place names mentioned are near Walhalla.

26th February 1883

My Dear Baron

I have been very ill since I saw you, and the consequence is, that the enclosed specimens are the first I have collected this year. The country about Lammers Creek is somewhat different from that towards Baw Baw

Mt Baw Baw, Vic.

so that I took whatever was new to me. Some of the specimens are very imperfect, however I shall visit it next season much earlier. I have been afraid to venture into the moist gullies to collect Fungi as yet, but have planned for Coopers Creek for next Saturday

Your very faithfully

Henry Thos Tisdall

Ferdinand Baron Von Mueller
