My dear Sir

I beg to enclose the receipt for having despatched to you "per Black Swan" this day the books in good order, which you had the kindness to forward to me. I have used them with advantage, altho' but few alterations in my names for plants were found necessary.

I hope you received safely the enumeration of Kunth (5 volumens)

Kunth (1833-50).

which I send to you by the "Lady Bird" at the time, when I had the pleasure of receiving your books.

See M to R. Gunn, 12 June 1855.

I am very anxious to receive from Dr Milligans kindness the genera of Endlicher,

Endlicher (1836-40).

and leaving here on the 30. for Sydney, I should be glad if he send the book to Mr Moore,

Charles Moore.

bot. Gardens, whence I will send the amount

Thankfully and obediently your

Ferd Mueller
