From Ferdinand von Mueller to William Odgers   29 Dec 1871

Melbourne bot. Garden

29/12/71

Sir

I have the honor to acknowledge with best thanks the receipt of two copies of part 14 of Major Beddome's Flora Sylvatica,1 which have been placed into the Library of the Botanic Garden.

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

your obedient servant

Ferd. von Mueller,

Direct. botan. Garden

The Undersecretary.

Beddome (1869-74). Turner (2012), p. 303, reports that part 14 is dated 1871, but it was received in Melbourne before his 'Earliest confirmed date', January 1872. See Lucas (2026) for discussion of the date of publication.
