7/12/95.
In reply to your letter, just received, dear Mr Dowden, let me say, that I received a large new volume some months ago from its author Prof Hedgar Wallace1 on Agriculture,2 in exchange of which I wished him to receive the "Select Plants."
It is strange, that he could not be found in Edinburgh, but perhaps he may again have gone to India. If you will let me have the copy of the "Select Plants," intended for him, I can send it to Prof Balfour, FR.S., my correspondent in Edinburgh, who could easily find out where Prof Wallace at present lives, and send him the book.3
Very regardfully your
Ferd von Mueller.
