JHC161

From:
Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker
To:
[Asa Gray]
Date:
6 June 1875
Source of text:
JDH/2/22/1/1 f.48, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Summary:

Partial letter comprised of a post script only, the rest of the letter is not extant in the archive. The date has been added in pencil in a hand not that of the original author, Joseph Dalton Hooker. There is no salutation but based on the letters which make up the rest of the volume the recipient is presumed to be Asa Gray. JDH asks Gray if he has any spare West African plants from the set sent to him by RBG Kew. Friedrich Welwitsch claims not to have received a set & it is possible they were sent to Gray in error, though more likely they were lost in Welwitsch's travels between London & Portugal. In turn Welwitsch has not shared his own herbarium, which is needed to complete the FLORA OF TROPICAL AFRICA.
