Melbourne,

25./1./89.

It affords me much pleasure to recommend David Lindsay Esqr, F.R.G.S. for the position of Shire-Engineer and Surveyor of Portland,

Vic.

for which position he is eminently qualified by his professional standing and experiences. Moreover Mr Lindsay is known to me as a Gentleman of high principles and agreable kindly disposition, so that the choice, should it fall on him, will be a particularly happy one.

Baron Von Mueller,

M.D., Ph.D., FRS.
