28/12/93

Let me thank you, dear Mr Williamson, for the beautiful photograms, prepared by yourself,

Only one of Williamson's photographs has been found, now filed with H. Williamson to M, 30 December 1893 and reproduced in this edition with that letter, but evidently sent earlier.

also for the liberal supply of one of the plants, sent this (N. 2) must be from a Garden. It was very pleasing to me, meeting your young brother.

Williamson had two younger brothers, Arthur John, born 1873, and Sydney Wentworth, born 1875. It is not known which of them visited M.

But the Phylloxera troubles just now, and a severe pulmonary suffering made it not possible for me to show him any outdoor attention. He is evidently an excellent young thoughtful man.

With best new years wishes your

Ferd von Mueller
