From Ferdinand von Mueller to Julian Tenison Woods   19 June 1858

Melbourne bot Garden,

19. June 1858.

My dear Mr Woods.

I received only this day the enclosed bills from Prof. Irving — You are entitled to 2 copies of our transactions vol 2, 2 for your article1 and to one copy henceforth as a member. — For your kind invitation I owe you many thanks, but I am so overwhelmed with administrative work in this large establishment, that I cannot find even a few days, to go with the Steamer to my sister near Port Fairy2

The transactions, containing your article are out this week. I will endeavour to send you a copy by first opportunity.

Pray accept a hasty wish for your prosperity from

your humble

Ferd Mueller

There is in your parcel also a copy of our transactions for Dr Wehl.

Rev. Jul. Edm. Woods.
