Will go to Buckhurst Hill with Meldola to meet the Rector. Discusses travel arrangements.
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.

Heard Committee was all very much against ARW's plan of introducing "foreign trees" - want a "true English forest" - Cttee themselves have already begun planting foreign trees - avenue of poplars which are the common Lombardy and Black Poplars - no doubt think they are British because they are common.
