Melbourne bot Garden

24/2/66

I am very sorry to hear that Mr Edw Wilsons cataract operation has been followed by a glaucomatic affection which may deprive him of the last hope of restoration of his sight. This is very sad with a man still in vigor of age & of such expansive views & philanthropic mind. If you, dear Dr Hooker, can at any time fulfill any of his wishes I shall regard it a special favor.

Regardfully

Ferd Mueller
