To William Macarthur   23 December 1879

23/12/79.

 

The last mail, dear Sir William, brought me the enclosed letter1 from our venerable friend, Professor DeCaisne, to whom I like to write at an early date in reply. His allusion regarding the case of plants sent by him may meanwhile have had its response from you, unless a letter of yours was lost.

With every reverence

your

Ferd. von Mueller.
