Summary:

JDH informs Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer that he has sent a copy of the York lectures to RBG Kew librarian [William Botting] Hemsley. JDH is unhappy with the colouring of the plates in the Oct 1896 number of [CURTIS'S BOTANICAL] MAGAZINE & has written to the publisher Lovell Reeve. JDH has not received payment [from Reeve?] for the species descriptions he has written [for CURTIS'S] since July 1895 & fears the publication will not last much longer. JDH has also been kept waiting for sheets of his FLORA OF BRITISH INDIA.
