From Ferdinand von Mueller to Henry Deane   12 Dec 1887

12/12/87

Allow me to ask, dear Mr Deane, whether you have any flowering and fruiting specimens of Acacia pruinosa as material for my Decades of Acacias. The Rev. Dr Woolls mentions, that you had found that sp. near Hornsbye1

I hope you will be one of the parties for the ascent of Mt Seaview2 during the holidays Mr Maiden takes a great interest in the project3

Regardfully

your

Ferd von Mueller

i.e. Hornsby, NSW.
