Dear Dr Hooker,
Allow me to ask, whether you know of any more recent work on the diseases of plants. Altho’ I see many literary notices, I obviously at the distance cannot see all, and so some important publications may have escaped notice. With Prof de Bary I am in letter-interchange since some years, but he has brought no very new researches out, nor has he collected all that is known into a general work concerning diseases of plants1
Yours with best regards
Ferd. von Mueller
