[…]1 Melbourne bot. Garden,
7. Aug. 1862.
My dear Mr Pamplin.
I have forwarded by the ship Moravian2 to your adress 3 boxes with dried plants & other natural curiosities, which I would request you to forward, if possible unopened to their final destination. Two of the Boxes are destined for the muséum d’histoire naturelle, Paris, & are signed accordingly, the third one is intended to go to Prof. Areschoug of Upsala. The freight, as you will see by the enclosed bills of loading, is paid as far as London, & perhaps you can kindly arrange, that the subsequent expenses are borne by the recipients. The French Ambassador has kindly consented to forward for the museum anything from me, but perhaps it may be more convenient to you to send the two cases directly off to either Prof Decaisne or Prof Brogniart.3
Your early attention will oblige
your very obedient
Ferd Mueller
