To Edward Ramsay   11 March 1885

11/3/85

 

Curiously enough, dear Mr Ramsay, I wrote to you two days ago, enquiring about the book sent for Dr Froude.1 I am glad to learn, that he got it through your kindness.

I shall always be glad to examine any of your S. Sea Islands Orchids.

Since I am out of the garden, I have no chances to make up collections of Australian seeds, having neither any collector regularly in the field. If any seeds however will get somehow through correspondents within my reach, I will think of you.

Regardfully

your

Ferd. von Mueller2

The letter is followed in the file by a sheet, numbered 450, with a crude sketch of what appears to be a wooden structure of some kind, which appears to have no connection with the letters preceding and following it.
