From Frederick Bailey   8 August 1893

August 8th [189]31

Dear Baron

Accept my best thanks for the list of additional Queensland plants2 by far the greater portion of the plants have been already recorded by me for this colony in my various publications, the rest however come very opportune as I have a Bulletin being printed in which they can be incorporated. Each of these will have your initials attached for habitat and a foot note to explain.3

Yours very truly

F. M. Bailey

M*', with the associated note, 'When these initials are thus given, I am indebted to Baron Mueller for the information of its having been received by him from Queensland, but he has not given me the locality.'
