From Ferdinand von Mueller to Samuel Davenport   21 Apr 1867

Easterday 671

I was so downcast & dispirited, dear Mr Davenport, since some time that I had no alacrity to follow up any thing & thus I have as yet not attended to the demand of your friend for Mrs Wilsons2 rabbit. I will however do so to day or to morrow & inform you of the result.

My Bombyx Cynthia has [formed] its cocoon.

I trust you & Mrs Davenport are well.

With kindest regards

Ferd. Mueller

Easter fell on 21 April in 1867.
