Transcribe Peters, William. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1881-05-04)

of the country As there is some very pretty senery here As my place is a frontage to the Westernport Bay and as I have a good sailing boat I could take you on to any of the Islands in the bay as there is some pretty senery round them and more particuraly from Cape Wollami of Phillip Island or should you be inclined to take a trip into the mountains with us, were we go, for the Lyre birds and other specimens there is many kinds of rare bird in the mountains of dull plumage not bright enough for shops in Melbourne but suitable of a naturalist There is also some beautiful mosses ferns and shrubs.
