17. Dec. 1887.
Mons. P. Maistre,
Acting Consul General of France
In reply to your communication of the 12. Dec.,
honored Sir, I beg to state, that I will endeavour to obtain yet this season the
grains of the two
and of other nutritious grasses and also salt-bushes and other rural plants, fit
for the more arid pastoral regions of Northern Africa. It will be necessary to have
these seeds collected purposely, and I have made some arrangements now in this respect,
without involving the Consulate into expenditure. When any of the grains arrive, they
will be successively sent to you.

I beg of you, to assure his Excellency the Minister of foreign affaires, that I will
be particularly happy to aid on this and any other occasion in the rural development
of the great French possessions in Africa, so far as I can from here, and that I hope
his Excellency will in this respect through you, his able representative here, at
any time command services.
I have the honor to be, Sir, your very obedient
Ferd. von Mueller
