Melbourne bot Garden
17/7/69.
I have with much gratitude to acknowledge, dear Prof Decaisne, your great favor in sending such a rich collection of seeds from the garden of the Museum. I now forward by this mail 275 spec. Australian seeds, also 5 kinds of seeds of Eucalypts through the mediation of the Imperial Acclimation-Society, to whom it was easy to send your package, as Banquier Hesse is the Society's Agent at Marseille.
I have just this moment ordered a gyps1 cast to be made of the model of the great gold-mass, discovered here this year in the alluvium for the Paris Museum. I will send it to you next month, also soon the 6th vol. of my Fragmenta.2
With kindest regards,
Ferd. von Mueller
Pray give my kind regard to Prof Brogniart3
