JDH thanks Lady Hyacinth Jardine [later Hooker] for her letters & for sending Primulas etc. He will look into Pinguicula [to send in return?]. JDH identifies a grass as Sesleria Caerulea for Sir William Jardine & requests some for RBG Kew. George Henslow [JDH's brother in law] is still paralysed. JDH asks where he should send a postal order for the Jardine's gardener. JDH relates the circumstances of Lady Lyell's death & his visit to see her lying in her coffin. Her husband Charles Lyell is grieving whilst still working on the new edition of his book THE ANTIQUITY OF MAN, with Miss Buckley. The Lyells hope that Hyacinth's father [William Samuel Symonds] will bury Mrs Lyell at Woking beside Mr Horner. JDH's wife Frances has returned from Down House & is still unwell. JDH recounts the current whereabouts & activities of his children: Harriet Anne Hooker is in Cheltenham with her great aunt, William Henslow Hooker continues with the fiddle, & Charles Paget Hooker has spent his holiday with Barnard at Cheltenham.

To:
Asa Gray
Date:

Source of text:
JDH/2/22/1/1 f.38-39, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Summary:

JDH thanks Asa Gray for sending him some boxes of roots. He has received useful information regarding North American Pines from George Engelmann, whom he wishes would also study American oaks. Mentions: a case of Sikkim Rhododendrons for H. Hunnewell, death of John Torrey, sending Bolander subtropical plants including hardier palms. Some boxes from Gray arrived smashed, some things were lost possibly including the Pinguicula & Chaptalia. JDH owes Charles Sprague Sargent a letter. Ashes are hopeless, the arboretum has been hard work the past winter. JDH will go to France with Thomas Henry Huxley [THH] who has been recommended a holiday for his health. George Bentham is working on Mimosas for Martius' Flora. William Thiselton-Dyer is to withdraw from the Horticultural Society & give a series of lectures on botany at South Kensington for the National School teachers. JDH explains what form the lectures will take, they are modelled after THH's zoology lectures. JDH has been unwell but is recovered & has resumed work on the Vaccineae for GENERA PLANTARUM. Welwitsch affair not yet settled. Owen's wife has died. The Royal Commission will recommend that RBG Kew become the national herbarium with a separate Paleontological one at the British Museum [of Natural History].

From:
Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker
To:
Asa Gray
Date:
12 June 1873
Source of text:
Asa Gray correspondence 1, Archives of the Gray Herbarium
Summary:

JDH clarifies that he is not the source of a request for Asa Gray to review his publication GENERA PLANTARUM. Especially as he is under the impression Gray would have nothing complimentary to say about his work on the order Rubiaceae, despite the effort JDH has put into & his belief that he has corrected more mistakes than he has made. He notes that [Sir William Turner] Thiselton-Dyer corrected the work before it went to press. JDH has just returned from a tour of the left bank of the Rhine, Eifel country [volcanic region of Germany], with his wife [Frances Hooker nee Henslow], [John] Lubbock & the Grant-Duffs. They also saw Luxembourg & Treves [Trier]. JDH has asked the publisher, Longman, to send Gray a copy of Decaisne & Le Maout [A GENERAL SYSTEM OF BOTANY DESCRIPTIVE AND ANALYTICAL]. JDH is currently working on the FLORA OF BRITISH INDIA with Thiselton-Dyer but they are hampered by shortcomings in [Carl Friedrich Philipp von] Martius' work & the illness of [Michael Packenham] Edgeworth & [Thomas] Thomson. [George] Bentham is currently working on Mimosaceae for Martius' work. A young man who works for Micheli, of Geneva, is at RBG Kew working on Onograceae & Rubiaceae. Bibb has sent RBG Kew a collection of Illinois plants. JDH hopes to go on holiday to the Auvergne with [Thomas Henry] Huxley. JDH also has much to do reforming business procedures at the Royal Society & arranging the Society's move to new apartments.
