The "Brittania" was so full of goods, when about to start at the beginning of this month, dear Mr Dyer, that the Gymnoschoenus could not be taken;2 so it is shipped now by the P. & O. Steamer "Ballarat." By some inadvertance of an assistant of mine this case with the Gymnoschoenus was with another case, intended for France, consigned also to my London Agents, Mess. Watson & Scull, Thames Street. But as Kew has its own Shipping Agent, I have asked Mess. Watson & Scull, to hand the bill of lading to your Agent.3 Will you kindly make your arrangements also for the needful instruction.
Regardfully
your
Ferd. von Mueller.
What a lot of valuable plates again issued in or through Kew.4 - Your establishment does in this manner more than all others taken together!5
Gymnoschoenus
