JHC159

From:
Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker
To:
[Asa Gray]
Date:
-8-1874
Source of text:
JDH/2/22/1/1 f.45, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Summary:

[Letter appears to be incomplete as it bears no formal salutation, & the only date given has been added in pencil in a hand not that of the original author.] In the letter JDH writes to [Asa Gray] informing him that he is going to Belfast for the British Association. He will 'begin' at the Royal Society in November. Explains why he has refused Knight Commandership of St Michael & St George. As President of the Royal Society he feels he will inevitably be offered Knight Commandership of the Order of the Bath & will be obliged to accept even though he & his wife, Hyacinth Hooker, do not like such titles. In a post script he adds that Baker has Gay's plants ready for Gray & Mrs [Elizabeth] Lombe is unwell.

DCP-LETT-9613

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Joseph Dalton Hooker
Date:
30 Aug [1874]
Source of text:
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (JDH/6/3 Insectivorous plants 1873–8: 40)
Summary:

Thanks JDH for his "quite admirable" address [Rep. BAAS 44 (1874) pt 2: 102–16]. Suggests revisions.

CD thinks he is "now on right track about Utricularia" after wasting several weeks "in fruitless trials and observations".

Mrs Barber’s paper is very curious and ought to be published.
