Queensbirth day 1867.

MS annotation in an unrecognized hand: '24th May'. Queen Victoria was born on 24 May 1819.

By this mail, dear Dr Anderson, you will receive 17 species of seeds. I have added a parcel for Mr Tyesmann,

Teysmann?

thinking that you can manage to send it off, for which friendly service I shall be most grateful

Have you Euryale ferox? I would like it much for my tank. We have never as yet succeeded to bring to Australia, which would be an excellent avenue tree.

your regardful

Ferd Mueller
