CCB thought CD wanted live specimens, but now will send some dried ones from his herbarium.
Encloses an extract from a letter received from [J. D.] Hooker which suggests a job opportunity in India. Advises careful reflection about the risks and the need for a character recommendation. Would like to support the costs of the voyage and initial living expenses.
Compliments to the company.
