15./4./63.
My dear Sir William.
The Great Britain takes again (free of charge by courtesy of Mr Bright)
one case with plants intended for consultation at Kew. I have asked his Excellency
Sir H. Barkly to send all his Guiana & Jamaica ferns to you & the Governor complied
at once with my request; so that the collection is going in the same box. I beg to
submit all my normal collections of ferns also for your use. His Excellency wishes
you to retain his plants until he can personally receive them again from you. It is
almost unneccessary to repeat, that
any
duplicates of the ferns may be retained for the Kew hebarium.

Presumably C. E. Bright, a shipping agent, whose firm handled the arrangements for Great Britain.
Will you kindly let one of your assistants first arrange the ferns, as there are unadded
supplemental fascicles with them. Indeed I had no time to arrange the whole properly.
Ever with sincerest regards & veneration
Yours
Ferd Mueller
I shall enclose in the box with ferns a large fascicle of Carex for Dr Boott's inspection.
To you & that Gentleman any duplicates are available. Perhaps the Doctor would soon
return them & let me specially know about my
,
which is a rather local glacial species his opinion. I should think the collection
is worthy of a special record.
