My dear Sir William.
I have taken the liberty of adressing to you a parcel with Mosses from Paramatta,
being anxious that they should be named by Mr Mitten; or in the event of that Gentleman
being too much engaged in other work you would perhaps be so friendly to send them
at any time that opportunity affords to Dr Sonder, with whom I anticipate Kew maintains
for the sake of the South African Flora
a regular communication.

NSW.

Harvey & Sonder (1859-65).
I would be glad, if a full set of the specimens could be returned to the Museum of
my establishment.

See M to W. Mitten, 2 September 1876, acknowledging the return of the named collection.
Trusting that you are in uninterrupted enjoyment of health I remain, dear Sir William
with veneration
your
Ferd. Mueller
