Dear Dr Mueller
I am in receipt of your letter enq[uirin]g about the sending of dried plants to Canada. I believe that anything that can be sent by mail to the U. S. can also be sent to Canada — as she is in the Postal Union. — Canadian & U.S. rates are alike & any books or packages addressed to me are delivered free of duty. Any thing you send here for Mr [...] I will have forwarded. I sent you, not long ago, a copy of our [...] report in which you will find maps showing northern limits of Canadian [trees] which will probably interest you.2
With much kind regard believe me very sincerely your

Geological and natural history survey of Canada (1881) was accompanied by three maps in a portfolio, map 3 'showing the general northern limits of the principal forest trees of the Dominion of Canada east of the Rocky Mountains'. The map, by Robert Bell, has been digitized and is available at https://doi.org/10.4095/226631.
