Dear Sir William.
I have sent a box with supplemental Myrtaceae, Araliaceae, Loranthaceae, Onagreae,1 Rubiaceae Cucurbitaceae & a few other calyciflorous orders this day pr Sussex to you for Mr Benthams use. Freight is paid as always before. I should feel glad to be relieved of the payment of the return freight, which has been charged to me in succession for 4 or 5 boxes now.
A collection of fresh seeds is added, also a few specimens for Prof Dickie of Aberdeen & Dr Laud Lindsay2 of Edinburgh which I pray you will kindly send on, I shall probably ere long have yet to send more Calyciflorae yet in time for the third volume of the flora Austral; — also some ferns for your work. I have suggested to Dr Sonder that he should place his large collection of ferns before you.3
With ever friendly
regards yr
Ferd Mueller
