Melbourne,
6 Dec. 1889.
T. R. Wilson Esqr,
Undersecretary.
Sir.
As the arrangements for my researches are so made in 1890, that I can resume also the elaboration of the "fragmenta phytographiae Australiae", I have the honor to solicit the permission of the honorable the Chief Secretary for the printing of the 12th vol. at the Gov. Printing Office
1
Publication had ceased with B82.12.03, the first fascicle of vol. 12.
The Chief Secretary, C. Pearson, approved M's request on 7 December 1889. M returned the file on 11 December 'with best thanks and with a solicitation, that the Gov. Printer be instructed accordingly'. On 13 December, Wilson referred the file to the Government Printer 'to note the Minister's approval' who acknowleged it the next day. The promised continuation of the Fragmenta did not eventuate.
I have the honor to be,
Sir, your obedient servant
Ferd. von Mueller,
Gov Botanist
