14/2/89
Herewith, dear Dr Bride, a few more medals, to be added to those in the library.1 The two Royal Medals, (Gold and Silver) I like to keep along with the Decorations from Sovereigns, til the remaining bid2 of my earthly career will have come to an end. You will have received the two last volumes of Prof Saccardo's Sylloge fungorum.3 It is a very important and also very costly work. I am thankful, that you now send out the "Select plants" (7th Edition) and Key I & II.4 Both are eagerly expected abroad.
Regardfully your
Ferd. von Mueller
