From Henry Sheffield to Ferdinand von Mueller   9 Jan 1878

January 9th 1878

Sir,

I have the honor to inform you that a Package addressed to —1 from the Smithsonian Institute of Washington D.C. U.S. has reached the Library

If you will be so good as to send it shall be delivered to your order.2

Baron Von Muller

MS is a file copy of a form letter with a dash in the text at this point and a corresponding list of addressees, including M, at the bottom of the sheet.

There is no signature on the file copy of this letter, but it was almost certainly sent by the Librarian at the Public Library, Henry Sheffield.
