8th July, 1890.

To Sir F. von Mueller, K.C.M.G. &c, &c

Dear Sir Ferdinand,

I take the liberty of introducing my friend Doctor H. H. Johnstone to you. Dr Johnstone is an enthusiastic lover of plants, and will doubtlessly be delighted with the many treasu[res]1 that you only can show him.

Any kindness you show him will be highly valued by me.

With best regards,

I remain,

dear Sir Ferdinand

yours most respectfully

John Horne
