To Baron von Mueller

By same Post you will receive a small Box containing a Leaf and Flower of a Shrub of which I should esteem it as a great favour if you would give me the name. My Friend [Dr] Woolss1 suggested my sending it to you as there is some difference of opinion among the nurserymen in Sydney as to the name Trusting you will pardon the liberty I have taken and allow me

To Remain,

Your Obedient Servant

R. W. Young
