Letter not found. The text given here is from 'Microscopical Society of Victoria', Australian medical journal , 15 November 1883, p. 494. The letter is dated to the day of the meeting, (see Age , 27 October 1883, p. 2), as M's usual practice when he could not attend meetings in Melbourne was to apologise in a letter written on the day of the meeting, or rarely the day before.
[The tenth Annual Meeting of the Microscopical Society of Victoria was held on Thursday evening last, the President, Dr. Ralph, occupying the chair. A letter was received from Baron von Mueller, expressing his regret that illness prevented him from being present.]
