From Ferdinand von Mueller to Heinrich Best   15 Dec 1895

15/12/95

Mr Boyce, Superintendent von Albert-Park war krank, so konnte erst gestern eine Pinus ausgesucht werden, welche er heute Hr. Mitscherlich und andern Hr. vom Turnverein zeigt, welche für die Abholung des Baums am Freitag sorgen wollen. Es freuete mich, dies zu besorgen.

Mr Boyce, Superintendent of Albert Park1 was ill, so a Pinus could only be selected yesterday,2 that he will show to Mr Mitscherlich and other gentlemen of the Turnverein today, who will take care of the collection of the tree on Friday. I am pleased to arrange this.

Yours

Ferd. von Mueller.
