My dear Baron,

Sir S. Davenport submitted your letter

to the Hon. the Commissioner of Crown Lands asking that Mr. Brown, the Government Geologist

might be allowed to go to Melbourne to attend the meeting of your Commission

A committee of the Victorian Branch of the Royal Geographical Society, led by M, charged with drawing up instructions for the forthcoming Elder Scientific Exploring Expedition.

— Mr. Brown ha[ving] unfortunately left town on official business, the essential suggestions connected with the conduct of the proposed explorations were however submitted by the Hon. Secretary of the Adelaide Society to the Secretary of the Geographical Society in Melbourne; in addition to which when the scheme has been matured & the officers appointed, a plan will be compiled for the guidance of the leader of the party, giving the geological as well as the topographical information as required, as far as such can be done by this office.

I remain, dear Baron

Faithfully yours

G. W. Goyder

Surveyor General

Baron Von Mueller

Melbourne
