Sir,

Adverting to the letter addressed hence to you on the 24th June last,

A. Morrah to M, 24 June 1891 (in this edition as 91-06-24a).

on the subject of the desirability of promoting rural settlement in the Australian Alps, and to subsequent correspondence, I have the honor to state that the Department of Agriculture having been asked if, by the use of any vote under its control, it could further your idea, the Honorable the Minister has replied in the negative.

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant

Secretary for Lands.

There is no signature on the file copy, but Arthur Morrah was Secretary for Lands at the time.

Baron Sir F. Von Mueller,

K.C.M.G.,

Melbourne.
