It will afford me much pleasure, dear Mr Shillinglaw, to see you at my poor place at any time in day hours before the mail.

i.e. the closure of the next mail for Europe.

I am seldom out, except perhaps in the evenings. Your photolithographic prints will be used for the post.

With best regards

Ferd. von Mueller.
