Summary:
JDH refers to an enclosed item [not present] which is intended for RBG Kew but would be better suited to the Royal Horticultural Society [RHS]. JDH has received a long letter from John Smith (1798-1888) complaining about the way he was treated by JDH & his father Sir William Jackson Hooker. JDH's father in law Reverend William Samuel Symonds is ill & has delayed coming to 'The Camp', Sunningdale. JDH [& his wife Hyacinth Hooker] are to go & stay with the Tyndales. On his return JDH will meet with Mr Hervey[?] at the herbarium.
