Source of text:
JDH/2/22/1/1 f.40, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Summary:

JDH thanks Asa Gray for sending Elliottia & asks if anyone has fruit of it. He is unsure where to place it in relation to other genera. He is sure Cyrilla is near Ilex & Olacineae[?]. JDH has received the Aquilegia[?] roots & copy of BOTANICAL CONTRIBUTIONS. Mentions the visit of Mr & Mrs Sargent &, quoting [Charles] Dickens, describes the lady as "plump and conformable". Asks where Gray saw Rodgersia podophylla advertised. Mentions the reputations of [John Louis Rodolphe] Aggassiz & Humboldt. Calls the idea of trying to disprove [Charles] Darwin's theory before Congress "humiliating". Mentions some excellent apples. [The letter is unsigned and possibly imcomplete.]
