Letter not seen. The text given here is from W. Sonder to D. von Schlechtendal, 4 March 1854; Briefwechsel von D.F.L. von Schlechtendal, Herbarium, Universität Halle-Wittenberg. Early March is thus the latest that Sonder could have written to M, and this item is dated accordingly.

[Ich habe Dr. Müller in diesen Tagen geschrieben, er möge wieder Sämereien schicken, namentlich von der überaus prächtigen Grevillea (Victoriae), u von Corraea Latrobeana die gewiss die Schönste der Gattung ist. Eine hübsche Collection von Algen ist wieder mitgekommen, grösstentheils andere als die neulich publicirten.]

[I have written to Dr Mueller recently, asking him to send seedlings again, especially of the extremely splendid Grevillea (victoriae), and of Corraea latrobeana, which is certainly the most beautiful of the genus. A nice collection of algae has come in again, mostly different from those recently published.
