From Eugene Fitzalan to Ferdinand von Mueller   9 Apr 1883

Willow Vale Bowen1 9th April

Dear Sir

I send you a few specimens through the Post I will send you a larger parcel next week, and will write more fully and explain my difficulty in getting down Cycas. If I cannot settle the matter satisfactorily within a very short time I will settle it by refunding the cash — will write fully next mail2

yours truly

Eugêne Fitzalan

I send the two receipts asked for by Mr Leihman3

Cycas

Qld.

Letter not found.

Georg Luehmann.

MS annotated by J. H. Willis: 'Removed from folder of Bauhinia acuminata, 15/7/1968 | JHW' and '(1883)'. Neither the folder nor the basis of Willis's dating can now be identified with certainty, but the folder may have been MEL 69666, a specimen collected in 1883 (see also E. Fitzalan to M, 3 June 1883, found with this specimen and removed by Willis at the same time as the present letter).
