Believes the enclosed letter from W. H. Harvey refers to his candidature for a position in Dublin College. Thinks him a worthy candidate. Would like to show the Herschels round Kew anytime.
Regarding the habits and flowering of Cape bulbs. Has just had a good collection from the Cape. The Dublin post is still vacant.
A friend of his would like JH's advice on a suitable telescope.
Has received the enclosed from James Graham and would be pleased if W. R. Dawes would choose an instrument.
His letter possibly did not reach him as his friend is still inquiring about a telescope for Lima.
Many thanks for the trouble he has taken over the matter of the telescope for Lima. His own son Joseph is a candidate for the chair of botany at Edinburgh and would be grateful for a testimonial.
Is grateful for JH's testimonial for his son Joseph. Wishes the Herschels would come and look around Kew. Regarding the Cape bulbs. Has no official person to collect seeds.
Regarding a botanical garden at the Cape and suitable staff. Would like to join with JH in a memorial to the Colonial Office.
