Occurrence remarks	Leschenault Aug 3rd 1881. Baron F. von Mueller. Adelaide. Dear Sir. Lately while visiting my cattle run I went to a most extraordinary formation of granite boulder rocks to the extent of 2 or 3 acres & growing on these rocks, I gathered some very beautiful ferns which were quite new to me, & Mr Clifton has begged me to send them to you as he thinks they would interest you, so that I am forwarding them by the mail, but I gathered one or two other kinds more beautiful than the enclosed, but they were so delicate that they were too much dried up before I could press them so that they were spoilt, but I shall be going out there before long again & shall make a point of going to the same spot again when I shall get a large quantity & if there is any thing new & you would like to have any more I shall be very happy to forward them to you. I remain yours truly J. Forster Johnston. [Photocopy of letter is attached to sheet. 'No. 73' is on a separate small label. 'W.A.' is on a blue 'Phytologic Museum of Melbourne.

Georeference remarks	Letter from the collector to Mueller was sent from 'Leschenault' - this would be Leschenault Homestead near Bunbury where J.F. Johnston was manager and later owner according to: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Johnston-24579, accessed 17/2/2023. The same source states that Johnston owned a property 'Moorland Farm'. According to https://www.streetsofbunbury.com/recollections-of-glen-iris, accessed 17/2/2023, this property was in the vicinity of the modern-day Glen Iris, an eastern suburb of Bunbury. So, I think we can reasonably place the locality of J.F. Johnston's 'cattle run' to the eastern outskirts of Bunbury. - N.G. Karunajeewa, 17/2/2023.
