Dear Sir F. v. Mueller

I have just received your kind letter,

Letter not found.

covering the letter from the Director of the Royal Botanic Society of Ratisbon, informing me of my election to a corresponding membership of that Society. I desire to express warmly my sense of your generous kindness in interesting yourself in this matter. I regret to say that I cannot correspond in the German Language, and should be glad to know whether it is most fitting to address personally a letter of thanks to the Society, or, as the Diploma has come through you, to ask you, when next writing, to convey my high sense of the honour done me, and my grateful thanks for the same.

It would appear that M forwarded Wilson’s letter to the Society.

I fear I cannot supply any specimens of Algs until my next dredging season is over. I have kept only the specimens needed to assist in identification.
