MS annotations by Tepper: 'Reply 4.7.93' (letter not found) and 'Not in town since 3 weeks' deleted. See M to O. Tepper, 30 June 1893, for an explanation of this deletion: M evidently replied to the letter of 30 June and the present one together and started to write the 'Not in town' note on the present one before realising that it applied to the other one.

23/6/93

Ich glaube Ihnen schon geschrieben zu haben, lieber Herr Tepper, dass Mr Bailey sich von seiner fälschen Stellung zurückgezogen hat in Bezug auf die Vollendung der Flora, und mir nun das Feld allein überlassen will.

Ich habe vom Chief Secr. nun hier auch die Bewilligung bekommen, dass der Band in der Gov Printing Office gedruckt werden kann. In der That geht nun schon Manuscript dahin ab.

Ich habe Bailey gerathen, eine volle Flora mit Standorten usw für QL auszuarbeiten.

Mit bestem Gruss

Ihr

Ferd. von Mueller.

Bitte theilen Sie dies unsere Freunden Holtze u Krichauff mit. An Prof Tate habe ich direct einige Zeilen gesandt.

23/6/93

I believe I have already written to you, dear Mr Tepper, that Mr Bailey has withdrawn from his false position in respect to the completion of the Flora and intends now to leave the field alone to me.

See F. Bailey to M, 3 June 1893; M's letter to Tepper not found. See also Clements (1998).

I have now also received from the Chief Secretary here permission for the volume to be printed in the Government Printing Office. In fact, the manuscript is already going off to there now.

See M to O. Tepper, 16 June 1893. The proposed volume was never published.

I have advised Bailey to prepare a complete flora with localities and so on for Queensland.

The advice is included in M to F. Bailey, 31 May 1893.

With best greetings

Your

Ferd. von Mueller.

Please communicate this to our friends Holtze and Krichauff. I have sent some lines directly to Professor Tate.

Letter not found.
