7/6/90.
I thank you, dear Mr Macdonald, for following up Mr Lindts proposition.1 I did not like to be disobliging to him, as he is not only a member of our Society, but also as he supported several of our meetings by a splendid display of photograms. The idea of getting help from us arose entirely with him. I look more to the photographic results than any other of this exploit. We could only deal with him; thus I do not like to enter into communications with the Rev. Mr Fison. We have a good anthropologic correspondent in the Rev. Mr M'Donald in the New Hebrides. Mr Wolff is however not in the pay of any Society; he simply is a delegate of the Leipzig anthropol. Society,2 which merely means that he is to interest himself, to advance abroad the interests of that institution.
Regardfully your
Ferd von Mueller
