Summary:

Thanks for kindness in speaking to the Duke of Bedford - has not heard from him - today sent application with copies of his testimonials - should he get the post, Bedford's influence could be brought to bear on the Cttee. Papers today: you have just received [John] Miers' Brazilian collection of plants - puts me in mind of a subject I am much interested in - the getting collections arranged geographically [as opposed to systematically, which results in a number of interesting points being overlooked] - do not know if you have the power to make such an innovation but if you have I suggest it for your consideration as supplying a great want & at the same time setting a much needed example.
