Gotha, 8. January 1870.
My Dear Friend,
Allow me to introduce to you Mr. Hugo Strong, the son of the Consul-General Mr. F. Strong at Hamburg, an esteemed friend of mine, and one of the best friends of German Geographers and Scientific men, who for many years has warmly encouraged all German endeavours and undertakings, and who therefore will be sure to receive the sympathy of so great a patriot as yourself and in his position as the Humboldt of Australia1 will receive these lines from the hands of his son.
With the sincerest attachments
ever your devoted
A Petermann
You will have received various letters and communications sent you during the last months.
Chev. Dr. F. von Müller, F.R.G. & L.S.
