Summary:
Sending parcel containing plants missing from certain dissertations, including 'Cliffortia', and money from the sale of some publications. This summer worked on classes 8-13 of the Cape [of Good Hope] flora; as some of less familiar may be Linnaean plants, sending specimens of 'Gnidia radiata', 'Passerina ericoides', 'Bergia capensis', and 'Milium capense'; possible that 'P. ericoides' and 'Lachnaea conglomerata' are the same plant; observations.
