JDH writes regarding exchange of money with the publisher Lovell Reeve for the BOTANICAL MAGAZINE & FLORA CAPENSIS. JDH is thinking of writing to Strachey to ask if his department looks favourable on Willy [William Henslow Hooker's] speculations, as they are distressing JDH. In a post script JDH adds that he has tried to write a just & appreciative notice [obituary] of Asa Gray. JDH thinks that Gray would have had a higher reputation if he has spent less time admiring others & more on producing works such as his Genera Florae Americae Boreali-Orientalis Illustrata or [George] Bentham's Linnean Journal Papers.
