[9]/7/68

The departure of the Anglesey having been postponed unexpectedly for a few days, dear Dr Hooker, I have managed to get away yet a Wardian Case with growing plants, a midshipman on board, to whom I made a donation of Australian seeds, having promised to take special surveillance of the case.

Some of the plants may be duplicates for Kew, but as they are of a kind, which are not readily propagated, I trust you will find them acceptable for interchanges.

Your very regardful

Ferd. von Mueller.
