JDH suspects that it was [William] Aiton & [Robert] who arranged the transfer of [Francis] Bauer's drawings to the Botanical Department of the British Museum. JDH recalls a Miss Alderson who was a frequent visitor to his Aunt Palgrave, JDH's cousins Francis Turner Palgrave & William Gifford Palgrave were both in love with her - 'the Passionate Pilgrim'. JDH has spent a month working on Impatiens balsamina, a native of the Devon peninsula which has many forms he is painstakingly dissecting in water & then mounting. He also mentions working hard on Madras [Chennai] herbarium specimens for which labour he could use the assistance of the drawings Harriet Thiselton-Dyer is doing. JDH thanks Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer for sending a photo of 'the house'. Despite having bandaged legs JDH has been to see the sketches from the British Antarctic Discover expedition , he declares them the best from any naval expedition & particularly praises the ornithological drawings of Dr [Edward Adrian] Wilson.
