JHC529

From:
Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker
To:
Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer
Date:
13 December 1900
Source of text:
JDH/2/16 f.172, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Summary:

JDH praises Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer's [WTTD's] vindication of the position of RBG Kew, though he fears they will still not get much from the treasury unless [Neville] Chamberlain can be made to understand their situation. He instructs that WTTD should at least lobby for a fire proof building for the collections, & should prepare a plan for same. JDH has visited [Sir Richard] Strachey & found his health improved though he is still feeble. JDH believes that [William Thomas] Blanford should be honoured for his contributions to the study of zoology & geology in India, Persia & Abyssinia [Ethiopia]. JDH intends to propose Blanford for a Royal [Society] medal with WTTD's backing. Blanford has received the Wollaston Medal of the Geological Society but in JDH's opinion should be offered companionship of an order such as the Star of India, KCSI, or Order of the Indian Empire, KCIE. JDH has left [John Stevens] Henslow's microscope for WTTD & assumes that [George] Bentham's microscope is in the museum. WTTD is going on holiday to Poole, JDH suggests he visits [Alfred Russel] Wallace who lives near Parkstone Station. JDH mentions having dedicating the BOTANICAL MAGAZINE to [David] Prain & uncertainty over what tile Prain holds as an army medical officer because of the conventions of the War Office. JDH asks if WTTD would like to buy a Wedgewood medallion of Sir William Herschel which JDH asked the company to reproduce.
