From Janet French to Ferdinand von Mueller   30 June 1882

A Joyous Birthday.

As round a column tendrils twine

So round a life cling other lives,

May happiness impress on thine

A Birthday light while aught survives!

To Baron Von Mueller

With kindly regards and many happy returns of the day.

Mrs J French.1

30/6/82.
