The 9th, 10th & 11th Decades of the Acacias
are ready, dear Dr Bride, so I presume you will
apply
for your 25 impressions. I trust, that you will be able to continue also the
early
sending out.

Decades 9-11 are included in M's publication list under B88.13.01.

File cover annotated: 'Answered 3/7/88'. In his reply, Bride reminded M that Government
approval was needed for the Public Library to distribute copies. Approval was sought
in M to E. Thomas, 4 July 1888. On 9 July, the Premier's approval was minuted on the file, and on 13 July the Government
Printer was told of this and that 'the distribution to be made, as before, through
the Public Library'. The Government Printer 'noted and returned' the file on 16 July,
whereupon Thomas Bride was asked to act. On 9 August, Bride reported that 'The Decades
have been distributed as desired'.
Regardfully your
Ferd von Mueller.
