23/9/93.

It is my intention, honored Sir, to distribute some of my papuan plants to Specialists for description, as my time is so beset with rural work in the Department, as to render it difficult for me working largely phytographically. I would therefore ask, whether you would like to examine the , among likely some novelties would exist.

De Candolle evidently accepted M's offer; see M to C. de Candolle, 24 February 1894.

You may have other material, supplemental to the exquisite monography written by you.

With profound regards
