ARW thanks CR for the map of Bournemouth and for the ?spiranthus which he has planted in the dampest part of his Alpine bed. ARW is sorry not to have the excursion; his daughter and the friend are returning to Liverpool and his wife has a badly inflamed eye. Regarding Poole Harbour, the Poole Corporation and Harbour Board fear the sand banks will be washed away and the harbour ruined and are spending thousands of pounds on sea walls; mentions sand banks and hopes CR might be able to give an opinion on the subject.
