To Otto Tepper1    11 December 1886

11/12/86

 

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 wünschenswert sein möchte

Freundschaftlich

Ihr

Ferd. von Mueller.

 

Hält Ihre R.S noch eine Meeting 1886

Only a few words, esteemed Mr Tepper, to say that if you could send your novelty from Kangaroo Island2 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 1886.3
