21/9/92
Let me thank you, dear Miss Pasco, for sending me your kind fathers letter1 on desire of your respected mother. I should not think it likely, that the Dundee Whaling-Steamers will proceed so far east as Australia; it is more likely, that they will keep to American meridians. Your father wrote me a day earlier from Ayr, Scotland2 — telling me, that we here cannot any more reckon on cooperation in Sweden for antarctic exploration, but that the 3 Whalers were to come from Dundee. I presume, it will be unlikely, that any letter of mine will reach your father still in Britain. If so, kindly tell me, in order that I may write by next mail.
Regardfully
your
Ferd von Mueller
