To Thomas Anderson1    18 July 1867

My dear Professor

By the Underley2 I have sent you a case with strong Araucarias. Should they safely arrive place a few into a case you may send to Buitenzorg,3 as I am rather in Mr Tyesman’s4 debt. The excellent Pine seeds from Dr Henderson arrived. A splendid gift. I send you seeds by this mail. Have you received all the parcels regularly forwarded to you? Cinchona seeds will be always welcome. I should like though some passenger seeds of Barclaya & especially Euryale; also I should desire much any spice plants, except Cinnamon, & a plant of the two kinds of Sagus.

I would also ask for roots of any Bambusaceae (except Bambusa arundina[ce]a) to fring my garden lake[s].

By the kindness of the Agents of the Underley the case goes free of freight.

your regardful

Ferd. Mueller.
