The Mexican plants, so generously sent, dear Prof Watson, are a most valuable addition to the collections here. I am indeed much beholden to you. I will write more fully after the meeting of the Austral. Association for the advancement of science;1 we are just preparing for it. I have the honor to be President, and feel keenly the responsibility also.
Regardfully your
Ferd. von Mueller.
