On Wedgwood vases for JDH.
Willy Hooker’s scarlet fever.
Discusses the contraction of hygroscopic bundles in seed-pods,
and a paper by Hugo von Mohl ["Über dimorphe Blüthen", Bot. Ztg. (1863): 309–15, 321–8] in which he discusses Oxalis and determines that Fumaria is a necessarily self-fertilising plant.
Requesting JH to write to Thomas Maclear to get him to finish his work on the Trigonometrical Survey of the Cape.
Is grateful for his letter. Thomas Graham will forward a letter of recommendation with the memorial and she would also like a note from JH.
Does not personally know any members of the committee [Committee for the Restoration of the Standards] except Prof. [William Hallowes] Miller. Consequently, asks GG to distribute JH's paper 'officially.'
