21/6/79.
It will afford me much pleasure dear Mr Shillinglaw, to visit you some evening, to participate in your hospitality and to look over the material for your important opus.1
With regardful remembrance your
Ferd. von Mueller.
I am engaged every evening likely for 2 weeks, so I will name the day of my visit here after
Shillinglaw was working on a biography of Matthew Flinders that was never published.
