Professor Th. Kirk, FLS,

Chief Conservator of State Forests [of] New Zealand.

 

Sir

In continuation of late correspondence1 I have the honor to inform you, that I have forwarded by the Steamship Tarawera a case containing 50 lb seeds of Euc. rostra[ta,]2 17 1/2 lb seeds of E. Leucoxy[lon] at 16/ and 20/ pr. lb respectively, account appended herewith.3 The seeds are fresh collected, and the pri[ce] is as low as it could possibly be for good seeds, that of E. Leucoxy[lon] less than formerly; but some of the […] yet to be sent, […] as those of E. obli[qua] will be considerably cheaper.

I have the honor to be,

Sir, your obedient

Ferd. von Mueller
