From Ferdinand von Mueller to Léon Dejardin   30 Sep 1895

Midnight, 30/9/95

It was very kind of you, dear Chev Dejardin to offer your friendly influence for the passage of my case of the dwarf Grasstree (Xanthorrhoea minor) to the jardin des plantes.1

The case arrived this afternoon; so I thought to send it at once straight on the same cart to Port Melbourne, where the Captain of the Messageries maritimes kindly took it. Thus it will be in Paris before severe frosts commence.

I hope, the Capt. of next months steamer will take a case of minerals to the Musée d'histoire naturelle also. Thanking you for all your friendliness

your Ferd. von Mueller

Xanthorrhoea minor
