Wieder komme ich um Auskunft, lieber Herr Tepper, diesmal um zu erfahren, wo Prof Tate Hakea Ednieana u Newcastlia Dixoni u Cheilanthes Clelandi in den R.S. of S.A. beschrieben hat? Seit mehreren Monaten hat er nicht geschrieben; vielleicht habe ich ihn unbewusst erzürnt

Again I come for information, dear Mr Tepper, this time to ascertain where Professor Tate has described Hakea ednieana and Newcastlia dixoni and Cheilanthes clelandi in the Royal Society of South Australia?1 He has not written for many months; perhaps I have unknowingly offended him
Your
Ferd. von Mueller.
Cheilanthes clelandi
Hakea ednieana
Newcastlia dixoni
MS annotation by Tepper: 'VII. 70'. This reference to Tate (1885) refers only to H. edniena; the other two species are described in B88.14.02, read before the Royal Society of South Australia on 2 October 1887 and published formally in August 1888. M however must have received a proof or extra-print (B87.14.07) soon after the paper was read, since the version printed in Botanisches Centralblatt, B88.01.06, is dated as from October 1887 (but has M as the sole author).
MS annotation by Tepper: 'Reply 4.3.89. with answer for 2 sp. Diag/Photo of Battarea Tepperiana Ludw. & notice of Ustilago Tepperi Ludw. 7 Grasses, 1 […] Nuriootpa'. Letter not found.
