21/1/88.
This (Saturday) afternoon, dear Mr Shillinglaw, the German Club holds it annual festival in the Garden of the Horticultural Society. If you will do us the honor of sharing in the festival, I will be happy to introduce you to my compatriots.
The entrance to the garden is at the Railway station of Burnley between Richmond and Hawthorn.1
Regardfully
your
Ferd von Mueller
Though I feel weak and poorly I will go for an hour or two, as the place is so near.
