Letter not found. The text given here is from Bulletin de la Société Impériale Zoologique d'Acclimatation, vol. 9 (1862), pp. 511-2. L. S. Hébert was the Society’s Agent général (executive secretary?) at the time.

[M. l'agent général donne communiciition d'une lettre qu'il a reçue de M. le docteur Mueller, de Melbourne, en date du 24 avril, qui annonce l'envoi de diverses espèces de graines, et adresse de nouveau ses remercîments pour les collections de Vignes et d'autres végétaux que notre Société lui a fait parvenir. Deux collections de graines adressées par M. Mueller nous sont déjà parvenues, et comme elles ne renferment pas les espèces désignées dans sa lettre, telles que , , , , nous avons lieu d'espérer que nous en recevrons prochainement une troisième.]

[The Agent General communicates a letter that he has received from Dr Mueller of Melbourne, dated 24 April, that announces the sending of various kinds of seeds and reiterates his thanks for the collections of Vines and other plants that our Society has sent to him. Two collections of seeds addressed by Mr Mueller have already reached us, and since they do not contain the species named in his letter, such as , , ,

, we have reason to hope that we shall soon receive a third.]
