To Edward Ramsay   8 August 1876

8/8/76.

 

I have duly proposed you, dear Mr Ramsay, at the R.H. Society by this mail.1

It is pleasing that you have the Albert-palm, as it will have a great sale in Engl., where the Prince Consorts memory is kept sacred by so many of the Nobility2

Perhaps you will have use for the few prints, which I send.

Regardfully

Ferd. von Mueller
