In the event of this letter, dear Sir George, not being an apt one to submit to the
Ministry, could it be published in a local journal there? In Tasmania and in South
Australia the course has been adopted to wait on the Premier by a Deputation. Would
that be perhaps also the quickest plan in NZ., as it is so desirable that the Vote
be printed timely on the estimates, though the disbursement could be deferred until
Nordenskiold arrives next year there.
Regardfully
your
Ferd. von Mueller
So we shall likely have
two
heroes of Geography among us soon, Stanley and Nordenskiold!
