8/7/67

Accept, dear and good Miss Henderson, my friendliest acknowledgement of your wishes for my welfare at the anniversary of my birth, also for the valuable token of your remembrance, represented in the fine poetical volume of Aytoun.

Probably Aytoun (1867) or an earlier edition.

This splendid literary production was new to me. I received it only this day.

My own literary work has not progressed in this year & at this moment I am so weak, that I am almost prostrated on the sickbed. I trust the year will better end than it commenced. But I have had so many troubles even departmental that my spirit for literary work has fled even if I had leisure.

Pray remember me to Mr & Mrs M'Haffie & let me hope that you enjoy all good health

your regardful

Ferd Mueller
