Memo. from the CURATOR to
23rd Nov 1891
Dear Baron Mueller,
I will send you a batch of Bäuerlen's plants tomorrow. Will you kindly give me the name of the accompanying leguminous plant, raised from a seed said to have come from New Guinea. I have only one or two of the later numbers of your Papuan Plants to refer to.
I shall be glad if you will kindly return the plant.
Yours truly,
J. H. Maiden.
