Reverend & dear Sir.
It is unnecessary to assure you, that I shall be most happy to respond to your application for cut flowers & for plants; for irrespective of these being required for so noble purposes; I owe you yet much for your kind contributions to this garden.
Regardfully
yours
Ferd. Mueller.
