From Ferdinand von Mueller to James Hector   26 July 1872

Melbourne bot Garden,

26/7/72

By this post, dear Dr Hector, I beg to send you such numbers and plates of my "Fragmenta" as are still obtainable1 but I regret I cannot make your set complete. The work was published in a comparatively small number of copies only, but unexpectedly was distributed to all members of Parliament, Mechanics Institutes &c and thus the supply became exhausted after the sale of many copies.

With best regards

Ferd. von Mueller.

Hector had requested parts that he lacked in J. Hector to M, 2 July 1872.

MS annotation probably by Hector: 'Recd 9.8.72'.
