From Ferdinand von Mueller to Jacob Agardh   4 July 1889

4/7/89.

Eben, hochgeehrter Herr Prof., kommen Algen in halb-vermoderten und verklebten Zustand von der Champion-Bay an. Mir scheint es am Besten, Ihnen solche zu senden wie sie sind,1 wie sie sind; wahrscheinlich können Sie doch noch Manches daraus präpariren. Diese Localität, as beträchtlich entfernt nördlich von Swan-River wurde von Harvey nicht besucht. Der Sammler war Mr H. A. Spalding, dem ich eine Horticultur-Gegengabe dafür zu machen habe; also kostet diesmal das Algensammeln kein Geld. Ich werde ihn unterrichten, wie er zu sammeln hat.

Bestens grüsend

Ihr

Ferd von Mueller

Highly esteemed Professor, algae in a half decayed and stuck together condition have just arrived from Champion Bay. It seems best to me to send them to you as they are; probably you can prepare something from them still. This locality as considerably distant northwards from Swan River was not visited by Harvey.2 The collector was Mr H. A. Spalding, to whom I have to make a horticultural gift in response for them; thus the algae-collecting does not cost any money this time. I will instruct him how he has to collect.

Best greetings

Your

Ferd von Mueller

wie sie sind, is a marginal addition with an asterisk marking its intended location; however, M had already written the same words in the body of the letter!
