Dear Baron von Mueller,
Ever since my letter to you went to the "Post" this morning2 I have felt that I never should have tried to describe the "Sea grasses" I sent to you — I feel now it was great presumption on my part when I know so little about them. I was carried away with what Mr Fletcher said about seeing the spawn of a mollusc in the spore on one of the "sea-grasses" — had I reflected more such a fallacy would not have mislead me for under the most powerful microscopes the germs of all life are the same. I will do my best in searching for other "Sea grasses" for you and I hope you will forgive me this time.
With kindest regards
I am,
Your grateful friend
Georgina King
