28/8/81

Allow me to ask you, dear Mr Ramsay, whether the Linnean Society of N.S.W., of which you are such a prominent member does issue anything soon, so that I could seize on the opportunity of giving early publicity of a few notes.

M's first paper in the Proceedings of the Linnean Society of NSW was B81.13.08, which was read on 28 July 1880 and concerned plants from Mt Dromedary, in the Illawarra district of coastal NSW. His next paper read to the Society was presented on 30 November 1881 (B82.13.05).

Have you still a collector in the North?

Regardfully your

Ferd. von Mueller.

There are two printed copies of B81.10.01 filed adjacent to this letter in the archive.
