Summary:
JDH suggests as possible candidates to present the 'Berkeley Memorial' of which RBG Kew is a beneficiary. He suggests The President of the Royal Society, President of the Linnean Society or President of the Royal Horticultural Society. The memorial will need to be put before the Prime Minister. JDH explains that he is currently working on orchids & has done a lot of work in conjunction with George Bentham on rearranging the Neottieae & Ophrydeae. JDH wishes to show William Turner Thiselton-Dyer a letter from George King. JDH is going to Folkston for a fortnight from about the 14 [Feb 1890].
