Sunday 17/4/69

I send, dear Dr Hooker, the bill of loading for Cases 51 & 52. The Anglesey went only yesterday, much later than anticipated. You have now 14 Cases of dry plants from me at Kew. By the time they are worked out, I shall have all the in an equal state of forwardness.

I will send Lindberg my second copy of the Flora of Tasmania

Hooker (1855–60).

which I purchased when the work came out. It was not my wish to place you under any monetary outlay, but I thought you might have lying bye what he wanted.

See M to J. Hooker, 2 December 1868; Hooker’s response has not been found.

Let him do with the mosses the best he can. The more opinions thereon the better. That principle would hold good for lichens now a days as well.

Lindberg is a conscientious painstaking young worker, who promises well. He writes in Six languages! He visits Stockholm, whe[n] he is short of books and specimens.

Always your obliged

Ferd. von Mueller
