Melbourne bot Garden
23/3/73
By the Steamship Somersetshire, dear Dr Hooker, the 58th case with plants for Mr Bentham's work is despatched.
I hope the 57th also arrived safely. It was forwarded under care of Capt. Ridgers by the Hampshire, but no bill of loading was got (end of January already)
A case full of Liliaceae for Bentham will follow in a few weeks.
Regardfully your
Ferd von Mueller
