29/3/83.
After posting to you, dear Mr Dyer, a letter by this mail, I receive just before the closing of the post the brochure on the Phylloxera vastatrix in Malaga, kindly sent by you.1 I was aware, that the terrible Vine-scourge got as far as that, but the present publication will give full details. There is a Grand Cordon and a fortune to be gained yet by any one, who can stamp out the pest.
Regardfully your
Ferd von Mueller.
