Melbourne bot. Garden

17/3/72

It is really very kind of you, dear Mr Montefiore to think of me so generously and so attentively. I wished I had many sterling friends like you. The photograms I treasure much not only for their artistic value but also on account of the liberality of the donor.

I am still harrassed in my Department so pray, do pardon the briefness of the present note. With best remembrances of you & your kind family.

Ferd. von Mueller
