19/7/90.
In reply to your kind letter,1 dear Dr Gagliardi, I would advise that the Kon. Nederl. meteorol. Inst in Utrecht may receive direct from you the "Myoporinae"2 in return for its publications, with an intimation, that the volume with the descriptive text had not yet appeared but would come later.3
If you will send me a set of the Iconography of Australian Acacias,4 so far as you have it, in return for the periodicals now forwarded, I shall feel obliged. I will forward more publications, which I can spare here, in the course of this month.5
Regardfully your
Ferd. von Mueller
