16th July 1863.
Dear Dr Mueller,
I have to congratulate you on the further recognition of the services you have rendered to the cause of science announced in your letter of the 14th inst.
As I informed you in regard to the Legion of Honor, it is not in my power to authorize you as a British subject either to accept or wear the Order of Danebrog1 which H. M. the King of Denmark has been graciously pleased to confer upon you, but I shall have great pleasure now, as then, in applying for the Queen's permission by the next mail.
Believe me
yours faithfully
(sd) Henry Barkly
Dr Mueller
