Dear Dr M'Adam
Will you kindly issue an order for fifty copies of the IV, vol of the transactions to be delivered to me by Mr Detmoldt,
1
Transactions of the Philosopical Institute of Victoria , vol. 4 (1860). The volume could not have been ready by 6 January 1860 since it contains details of, and papers read at, the meetings of 9 and 23 January 1860; it was eventually issued in June 1860 (see M to J. Milligan, 19 June 1860). William Detmold was the Institute’s bookbinder.
as I have a capital opportunity of distributing them in Europe & America, if I can get them before Friday evening . I was too busy to be able to attend the meeting to day.
yours very regardfully
Ferd. Mueller
The byefollowing volumes arrived to night in my seed box from Hamburgh. Pray let the donation at once be entered in the next programme
