This consignment comes from La Plata in exchange for seeds sent by me to the Argentine Republic. I shall not fail to obtain this sending when the Essex arrives.

M's note was made in response to letter forwarded to him by McCulloch on 21 December 1870. McCulloch had received the letter from Victoria's Agent General in London saying that a box of seeds intended for M, that had been forwarded by Britain's Chargé d'Affaires at Buenos Aires, was being sent per Essex.
