Honoré Monsieur,
J'ai reçu avec une vive reconnaissance le Second systematic census of australian plants. C'est une oeuvre de haute valeur à la 1ere edition de laquelle J'ai eu maintes fois recours en redigeant l'Index Generum — C'est un ouvrage que J'ai toujours sous la main.
Je reste, honoré Monsieur
Votre respectueusement obligé

Honoured sir,
I have received with much pleasure the Second systematic census of Australian plants.1 It is a work of great value, to the first edition of which2 I many times had recourse while compiling the Index generum.3 It is a work that I always have at hand.
I remain, honoured Sir,
Your respectfully grateful
Th. Durand
