Summary:
Partial letter comprised of a post script only, the rest of the letter is not extant in the archive. The date has been added in pencil in a hand not that of the original author, Joseph Dalton Hooker. There is no salutation but based on the letters which make up the rest of the volume the recipient is presumed to be Asa Gray. JDH asks Gray if he has any spare West African plants from the set sent to him by RBG Kew. Friedrich Welwitsch claims not to have received a set & it is possible they were sent to Gray in error, though more likely they were lost in Welwitsch's travels between London & Portugal. In turn Welwitsch has not shared his own herbarium, which is needed to complete the FLORA OF TROPICAL AFRICA.

Summary:
JDH thanks Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer for his letter & sympathises with the trouble he has had about 'the cheque'. He mentions the theft of Bain's portrait. Reeve [Pulishing Company] has not returned the [BOTANICAL] MAGAZINE proofs he promised which will delay publication of some [species] descriptions. JDH has transferred Orychophragmus back to the genus Moricandia from where Bunge had placed it in ragworts[?]. JDH has got engaged to Lady [Hyacinth] Jardine & informed his family.
