To Thomas Anderson   24 May 1867

Queensbirth day 1867.1

 

By this mail, dear Dr Anderson, you will receive 17 species of seeds. I have added a parcel for Mr Tyesmann,2 thinking that you can manage to send it off, for which friendly service I shall be most grateful

Have you Euryale ferox? I would like it much for my tank. We have never as yet succeeded to bring Ficus Sycamorus to Australia, which would be an excellent avenue tree.

your regardful

Ferd Mueller
