Honorable and dear Sir.
Accept my grateful recognition of your generosity in granting my application, that my library may be permanently transferred to the department.1 This friendly measure will ease my position and afford to my successors the material for independent scientific researches, such as are expected from the department.
With profound & grateful regards to you & your honorable colleagues
I remain your attached
Ferd. Mueller
