Georg Luehmann.
had suddenly fallen ill, almost immediately after I left. Thus the copying of my manuscript has been only about half completed, and the rest can only go to you by the next post.

Very regardfully
Ferd. von Mueller.
Can you kindly tell me, what will become of poor Mr Archers collections?
