Hierbei sende ich Ihnen, edler Herr, einige Algen Exemplare, die Mr Fedarb dort auf meinen Wunsch sammelte. Vielleicht finden Sie etwas Interessantes darunter.
Mr. Wilson wird auch bald wieder Algen sammeln, da die Weihnachtsferien heran rücken. Bei mir wird die Absendung nie verzögert . Er hat mir die Liste, welche Sie zuletzt gaben, vorgelegt, so dass ich das Verzeichnis für den 2ten Theil des austral Pflanzen-Census habe vervollständigen können.
Mit innigen Wünschen für Ihr Wohlergehen
Ferd. von Mueller.
Mein Buchhändler hat mir die Fortsetzung der prächtigen Abbildungen der Hymenomyceten von dem unvergesslichen Elias Fries gesandt.
Würden Sie freundlich den Algen anhaftende Zoophyta an Hr Dr Bürgermeister Kirchenpauer in Hamburg senden.

will also soon collect algae again, since the Christmas holidays are drawing near. The dispatch is never delayed in my office. He has submitted to me the list that you last gave so that I have been able to complete the list for the second part of the Australian plant census.

The promised second part of M's Census, dealing with cryptogams, was never published. However, his bulky MS survives in the library, Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne.
With sincere wishes for your welfare
Ferd. von Mueller
My book dealer has sent me the continuation of the splendid illustrations of the Hymenomycetes of the unforgettable Elias Fries.

It is not certain to what work M refers but it was probably the completion of Fries (1867-84), the final 10 fascicles of which following Fries's death in February 1878 were issued from December 1878 to June 1884 by Th. M. Fries & R. Fries (TL2, title number 1894).
Would you kindly send the zoophytes attached to the algae to Burgomaster Dr Kirchenpauer in Hamburg.
