Glad correspondent’s paper went well.
Poor health and much work forces CD to be brief.
CD thinks JS’s Primula paper is fit for publication; he will send it on to the Linnean Society.
JS’s Primula paper was read at the Linnean Society and praised warmly by G. Bentham. Hooker was not present.
Bentham so impressed with JS’s paper that he is invited to become Associate Member of Linnean Society.
Regrets that JS has left the [Edinburgh] Botanic Garden and that [J. D.] Hooker is not in a position to secure a foreign appointment for him. Offers financial assistance on the grounds of science.
Has sent JS a copy of the Reader.
Corrects his former account of cowslips.
The delay in the publication of JS’s Primula paper.
Delights in JS’s experimentation on Verbascum which confirms [C. F.] Gärtner’s statements.
Should be pleased if JS would accept offer of help.
Encloses an extract from a letter received from [J. D.] Hooker which suggests a job opportunity in India. Advises careful reflection about the risks and the need for a character recommendation. Would like to support the costs of the voyage and initial living expenses.
Letter of recommendation stating his high opinion of John Scott.
