Dear Baron von Mueller,

I am here on a visit till Monday, and I am doing my best for you about the "Sea Grasses". I am inclosing some for you with spores (I think) as there are growths from some of them like those from the spores of some ferns. I will collect all I can, but only don't trouble to write if I am wrong and what I suppose are spores are only parasites.

With kindest regards,

Your Grateful friend in haste ,

Georgina King
