2/5/86.

Erlauben Sie mir, geehrter Herr Tepper, Sie darauf aufmerksam zu machen, dass gute Samen-tragende Exemplare der seltnen A. rhigiophylla noch in meiner Sammlung fehlen, auch dass die Frucht von A. Whanii bisher ungekannt blieb. Vielleicht haben Sie ohne Mühe Gelegenheit im nächsten Sommer dieses Fehlende gütig herbeizuschaffen.

Sie ehrend und Ihnen Alles Gute wünschend

Ferd. von Mueller.

2/5/86.

Permit me, esteemed Mr Tepper, to make you aware that good seed-bearing specimens of the rare A. rhigiophylla are still lacking in my collection, also that the fruit of A. whanii remains unknown until now.

Species of Acacia.

Perhaps you will have the opportunity in the next summer to kindly acquire these deficiencies without trouble.

Respectfully and wishing you every good thing

Ferd. von Mueller.
