My dear & beloved Phemy
I am not quite certain, whether I can enjoy the pleasure of seeing you & your sister this evening. Should I be prevented I will come out to you to morrow or after to morrow in the evening. Mr Fletcher has as yet not shown himself for receiving the Starlings.
The Sydney Steamer seems not yet to be here; so I do not know yet about Mr Moon's visit
Ever yours
Ferd Mueller.
