To Joseph Hooker   11 September 1869

11/9/69

 

By this post, dear Dr Hooker, I beg to send again 69 select species of seeds. Some you had not before. Those, you not require, will doubtless be of use to the Canary Islands, Madeira, or some such place for interchanges through the Consuls.1

With best wishes

Ferd von Mueller
