My dear Mr Darwin

Many thanks for Fritz Muller’s letter which I will have read at the next meeting of the Society— it will probably go into the first part of the Journal after Spruce’s Palm paper which will take up at least two parts1

I have given the seeds over to Oliver labelled as you desire2

Ever yours sincerely | George Bentham

Footnotes

See letter to George Bentham, 10 May [1869] and n. 6. Bentham refers to Richard Spruce’s paper ‘Palmae Amazonicae’ (Spruce 1869).
