Dear Dr Macadam

I feel greatly obliged to you, that you went to so much trouble about my paper.

Probably B59.13.01: ‘Dr. Mueller exhibited and explained some specimens of New Australian plants’, Proceedings of the meeting of the Philosophical Institute of Victoria, 26 May 1858, Transactions of the Philosophical Institute of Victoria, vol 3, p. ix (see M to W. Hooker, 17 December 1858).

I am starting to day for the alps

See M to J. O'Shanassy, 12 December 1858.

& hope to be rewarded with sufficient novelty, to furnish a paper for the institute.

Ever your true friend

Ferd. Mueller.
