Nur ein paar Worte, geehrter Herr Tepper, um zu sagen, dass wenn Sie Ihr Neues von der Känguruh-Insel bald senden könnten, würde es noch 1886 bearbeitet, was der Priorität wegen wünschenswerth sein möchte
Freundschaftlich
Ihr
Ferd. von Mueller.
Hält Ihre R.S noch eine Meeting 1886
11/12/86
Only a few words, esteemed Mr Tepper, to say that if you could send your novelty from Kangaroo Island1 soon, it would still be worked up in 1886, which may be desirable on account of priority.
Amicably
Your
Ferd. von Mueller.
Does your R. S. hold another meeting in 1886.2
SA.
