From Joseph Hooker to Ferdinand von Mueller   23 Oct 1866

My dear Mueller

Enclosed is the Bill of lading for the box of cuttings, succulents &c1 — for which we have paid freight of £7.10. ! I hope it will give you satisfaction.

I see that you now send Fungi to another party. I do not know his address, but have sent them to Hardwicke the publisher.2

Ever Yrs

JD Hooker

Kew Oct 23/66

Thanks for yours of 20/8/66 just received.3 I am collecting more seeds of Water plants which shall go by first mail of next month.

The Parliamentary Estimates of Royal Gardens & Parks (including Kew) for two years, will go in next box to you. They are rather too bulky for C. O.4 bag.
