See M to T. Wilson, 29 January 1891.
After all Departmental work has been finished off for December, I have instructed Mr Luehmann, to wait on you for instruction or authority, to sign any Documents or to act for me in any other but the routine office-work, should the occasion arise. In any special cases, which might require my own professional attention during January, I could act on telegrams, sent to Christchurch in New Zealand.
I have the honor to be,
Sir, your obedient servant
Ferd. von Mueller,
Gov. Botanist.
