Undated typescript letter from Joseph Hooker to Major Champion.
JDH has received letters from Sir William Thiselton-Dyer [WTTD] & Daniel Morris. JDH is still ill with bronchitis, it is recommended he travel to the seaside. JDH is glad that WTTD's party [for garden employees] was a success. JDH has seen the death notice of [Ernest Staint-Charles] Cosson, whom in 1886 promised to donate his herbarium to RBG Kew. JDH does not know of any accounts of Fredericksborg Gardens but suggests that [Anders Sandoe] Oersted could have written something & that WTTD could also check the library for publications by Danish botanists, as listed in old botanical directories, & consult Lange[?]. JDH compliments F. Oliver's report on 'Nowackia' but corrects that Averrhoa is not a Leguminosae & bemoans the poor systematic botany. JDH describes Nathaniel Ridley's habit of sending badly prepared scraps of specimens, illustrations & descriptions of orchids [from Singapore]. Ridley is not knowledgeable about orchids but often sends new species of them, bad as the specimens are. JDH notes that he is informing Morris that Fawcett[?] & the Cooper's hill men are to visit JDH.
