To F. von Mueller, Esq

Dear Sir,

Last year I send you specimen of grass, with a request for information concerning its species. You then kindly replied to the effect that the flower was necessary to enable you to discover its identity. This I now enclose, with apology for again troubling you, but if you could let me know its name, &c., I should esteem it a favour.

Yours obediently

H. J. Richmond
