MS annotation by Shillinglaw: 'ansd 10.V.80'. Letter not found.
Allow me to ask you, dear Mr Shillinglaw, whether perhaps you have on loan my copy
of the English Edition of
Labillardière
(voyage in search of Lapérouse).
I want the work for a note on Eucalypts (for my Euc. Atlas),
and am missing it in my library. So in all probability one of my friends had it,
but I cannot remember, with whom it may be. Excuse kindly my enquiry.

MS annotation by Shillinglaw: 'No'. A copy of this work (Labillardière (1800a)) is
in the library at the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, presumably the copy listed
in the catalogue in M to J. McCulloch, 30 September 1865.

B80.13.14; the first Decade of
Eucalyptographia
referring to Labillardière is Decade 5.
Regardfully your
Ferd. von Mueller.
