17/7/68
By a vexatious omittence, dear Dr Hooker, the package of seeds for Algerian forest culture, was not sent in any of the two boxes forwarded by the Angelsey.

See M to J. Hooker, 9 July 1868.
I have now ventured to direct the package to you, thinking you will find means of sending it to Dr Bodichon, 5 Blandford Square, London, N.W.

MS annotation at foot of page: 'Sent'.
It is scarcely right to trouble you with such a commission, but as it is a patriotic object, perhaps you will lend your kind aid.
Your regardful
Ferd von Mueller
