JDH thanks Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer for sending him a letter from [Odoardo] Beccari, whom he is encouraged to hear will be publishing his work. JDH has been working on the difficult genus Poa [for the FLORA OF BRITISH INDIA], the best specimens he has studied are those collected by [John Firminger] Duthie. [George] King is sending JDH further specimens, including some from Burma, which JDH hopes he & [Otto] Stapf will work on in the spring, though he is not looking forward to tackling Andropognium [Andropogoneae?] again. JDH is also labouring over the classification of Andropogoneae with reference to the work of Hackel & [George] Bentham. JDH is staying indoors during the bad weather. JDH needs to see Harriet [Thiselton-Dyer née Hooker] about some illustrations for the BOTANICAL MAGAZINE.
