JDH writes to Otto Stapf regarding the distribution of copies of an article being reprinted. JDH would like to know which institutions receive the reprint, also who received copies of his illustrations of Impatiens from the ICONES [PLANANTARUM]. JDH wants Indo Chinese specimens from Stapf as soon as possible so he can revise his articles on Indian Balsams. JDH is also keen for Miss [Matilda] Smith to complete the drawings of the Balsams for ICONES. Letter has additional notes attached regarding the questions of distribution JDH asks. These notes are written in the hand of Otto Stapf & John Aikman. Known recipients of the Icones illustrations are listed in the notes as Fischer v. Waldheim, Matsumura & Arnoldi as well as 'all those who lent material to Sir Joseph'. The notes also asks about returning copies of Swedish & Danish periodicals which they already have in the RBG Kew library.
