Melbourne bot Garden

26/8/72.

Yesterday, dear Prof Gray, I got the packages of Museum plants, through your generous intervention secured from Mr. Curtiss and Dr. Anderson, and obligingly brought by the Captain of the Ship Burnside.

C. L. Anderson; see receipt, M to A. Gray, 26 August 1872 (in this edition as 72-08-26a).

Both contributions are splendid additions to my Museum material, and I will make a countersending as soon as I have a fair opportunity. This occurs rarely direct to Boston; so I may perhaps avail myself of the San Francisco Line for the purpose. The acorns will be always a great boon and so any nuts. The wood specimens &c &c for your own purposes shall gladly also be forwarded.

Always with regardful and grateful remembrance your

Ferd. von Mueller.

The "select plants"

sent by last mail may prove also useful information to your southern states. Any additional notes to that publication and my former list of timbertrees

would be incorporated in an early supplement and gratefully be acknowledged. Prof. Torrey, Prof. Brewer, Mr. Eaton Prof. Chapman & others, may feel inclined to furnish also kindly a few supplemental notes.
