JDH writes that he is enclosing a copy of what he has written for W A Smith. Says that Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer [WTTD] will have concluded that the site of the kitchen garden was taken over for tree propagation for the Parks during Sir Benjamin Hall's time [as First Commissioner of Works]. The trees have now gone to Aldershot, Woolwich, Battersea & Victoria Parks. JDH says that a lot were sold cheaply or burnt as the Board of Works would not go to the expense of properly distributing & replanting stock. Potatoes continued to be grown to keep the 'kitchen garden' ground open. JDH reports that [John] Tyndall is much better but delicate.
