To Joseph Hooker   16 December 1867

16/12/67

 

I leave it to your kind mediation, dear Dr Hooker, to settle the account of Reeve's firm, as it may concern our poor departed friend Harvey. At all events it seems to me proper that a reduction should be made, as for £50 or £60 payment for the phycologia1 no discount whatever was allowed.2

Your regardful

Ferd Mueller

 

I could not sell the work, valuable as it is and gave the copies almost all away.

Pray send a copy of the icones plantarum3 through Mess Dulau & Co. It will never do to have running accounts at 3 or 4 booksellers in one city. Dulaus can then render payment, as I remit always to them.

Harvey (1858–63).

J. Hooker revived the publication of his father’s Icones plantarum (Hooker 1836–54) in 1867.
