JDH/2/16 f.116, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Summary:

JDH informs Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer that he has written a letter to William Muir recommending Isaac Bayley Balfour for the position of Professor of Botany at Edinburgh University. JDH is ill with diarrhoea so must postpone his visit to Trinity House, where he had hoped to hear some of Strachey's lectures. JDH discusses the proposal of one 'Evans' that an unspecified society take on 500 corresponding members including semi scientific & non scientific men.
