To Joseph Hooker 1    12 February 1871

12/2/71

 

A Gentleman of my department, dear Dr Hooker, proceeds home by the Swiftsure and will visit Kew on his Way to Germany. His name is [Mr Chrs] Hoffmann,2 and he conducted chemic & technologic work for me here, such as my department required.

I send these few lines, so that you may know who he is, when he calls.

Your regardful

Ferd. von Mueller
