List of plants sent to Reverend Mr Ellicomb.
No summary available.
Having now learned that the offensive article in the Edinburgh Review was by DB [see DB's 1831-12-1], JH writes in surprise that DB could have written what he did, and requests that JH's letter [see JH's 1831-11-25] be returned unpublished. JH will decide how to proceed.
Just before the death of her husband he received a letter announcing JH's intention of visiting the Cape. Would be pleased to provide him with any information if he desires it.
