I have not felt at all well since yesterday, dear My Hyndman, and thus, much to my regret, I shall be prevented, to attend at the festival, to which the Austr. Artists Association me so generously invited.1 Thus — I fear, that I may also be unable, to avail myself of the privilege, so kindly conceded to me, of being present, while His Excellency and Lady Loch2 and other distinguished personages will tomorrow inspect the new winter work of our many clever artists.
Regardfully your Ferd. von Mueller.
