DEPARTMENT OF MINES

VICTORIA

15/11/89

Dear Baron

When I saw you about ten days ago I left with you some fossil fruit from Beaufort

Vic.

which you kindly said you would examine and name.

The finder of the fruits is desirous of being informed as to them. May I therefore trouble you with a request that at your leisure you will send me a line for him. He also asks that the fruit may be returned to him.

The samples are contained in a little green cardboard box, wrapped in cotton wool.

I am dear Baron

Yours faithfully

A. W. Howitt

Baron Ferd. v. Mueller KCMG

Government Botanist
