My dear Sir William.
Our mutual friend, the Rev. Mr Ewing of Tasmania has kindly offered to convey to you a small consignment & so I have chosen a parcel of Gastrolobium bilobum, gathered in W Australia in a wild state. It occurs to me as desirable, that this vegetable poison should be subjected to careful chemical analysis and as you are, for Prof. Harvey's sake in constant communication with Dr W. Sonder, the latter Gentleman would, I have no doubt, afford the means of seeing this sample carefully transmitted for analysis to Prof. Dr Wittstein of Munich.
Very regardfully
ever yours
Ferd Mueller.
Gastrolobium bilobum
