JHC186

From:
Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker
To:
Asa Gray
Date:
20 June 1886
Source of text:
JDH/2/22/1/2 f.1, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Summary:

JDH thanks Asa Gray for his letter of 29 Apr [1886]. JDH has finished Laurineae but is dissatisfied with the result, he does not think he improved on the earlier work of [Carl] Meissner. JDH's opinion of Nees von Esenbeck is raised. JDH is working on Euphorbias, of which [Pierre Edmond] Boissieu made too many species, he scoffs at Boissieu's presumption that there could be un-described plants of Heyne[?] in the Vienna & St Petersburg herbaria. JDH has not see O. M. Holmes though they were both at Princess Louise's & Holmes met with [Thomas Henry] Huxley at a public dinner. JDH is working on ICONES [PLANTARUM]. He misses [George] Bentham [GB] & is frustrated that his affairs are not settled. He works in GB's old room in the herbarium. JDH is impressed by Daniel Oliver's knowledge, particularly of Phaenogams. He discusses staff changes at RBG Kew: [Daniel] Morris is installed, [George] Nicholson replaced [John] Smith & [William] Watson is in charge if tropical cultivation as Assistant Curator. Mitford, Secretary of the Board of Works, has inherited his Uncle, Lord Redesdale's, property. He will probably be replaced by one of 'mad Gladstone's secretaries'. JDH is working on new editions of GB's [HANDBOOK OF THE BRITISH FLORA] & the Primer [BOTANY, 1876]. Mentions that specimens arrive from China & are dealt with by [William Botting] Hemsley, material from Africa is usually poor quality. [George] King promises to do the figures for the FLORA OF BRITISH INDIA but systematic botanist rarely live up to promises, except Baker. [William] Carruthers is President of Linnean Society, Jackson Botanical Secretary & [James] Murie Prime Minister. Offers Gray duplicates of Indian specimens, they are from collections by Wallich, Cuming & Lobb. [James Edward Tierney] Aitchison is working on his Turkmenistan & Afghanistan collections. JDH would like word of Mr Ashburnham Newman, now of San Francisco, who is married to his niece: Margaret McGilvray. JDH has received no pension yet.
