TALBOT134

Dear Sir

I am sorry that the enclosed is the only specimen of Encalypta streptocarpa I have with me in Town. On my return to the country I shall be happy to send you better ones accompanied by other Mosses: & in the mean while I have written to my friend M^r Turner ¹ to beg he will send you a copy of his Musc. Hibernica, ² which I am sure he will have pleasure in doing.

I remain, dear Sir Your obd^t friend & Serv^t
W. J. Hooker.

Fladong’s Hotel, ³ Oxford street.
