Ich bin gerade dabei, lieber Herr Tepper, ein neues Supplement zum "Census of Austral plants" zu liefern. Mir fehlt aber der Theil der transact of the R.S. of S.A., in welchem der Corchorus Elderi beschrieben ist, es muss entweder 1886 oder 1887 gewesen sein. Würden Sie so freundlich sein, mir Band so wie Seite-Zahl anzugeben. Ich habe Ihnen noch keine Gegensendung gemacht für die Leopoldina. Ich bin noch halb krank von Congress Uberarbeit; so haben Sie nur etwas Geduld mit mir. Sie sollen nicht vergessen werden.
Grüssen Sie bestens von mir Hr Krichauff, wenn Sie ihn treffen.
Hoffentlich liefern Sie eine Abhandlung für die Austr Assoc, im Jan 1890.
Sie ehrend
Ferd. von Mueller.

it must have been either 1886 or 1887. Would you be so kind as to give me the volume as well as the page number. I have still not made you any reciprocal sending for the Leopoldina.

Tepper had sent M some volumes of Leopoldina in response to M to O. Tepper, 28 November 1888, the receipt of which was acknowledged in M to O. Tepper, 20 January 1889.
I am still half ill from Congress overwork,

so just have some patience with me. You shall not be forgotten.
Best greetings from me to Mr Krichauff, if you see him. It is to be hoped you will deliver a paper for the Austr Assoc in January 1890.
