Many thanks, my dear Sir, for the sight of Martius 1 prospectus. I am very anxious to be a Subscriber for a full & complete set. If you have any communication with Martius himself, I should like my name should be sent to him. If not then I will enclose a note to Mr Hunneman 2 to ask him to order me a set: – & you will perhaps add a line to it, to inform Hunneman to whom he had better give the Order.
You certainly did well among the Ionian islands in the short time you were there. I am much pleased with Veronica Syriaca. It is quite new to my Herbarium. I am glad to find that Webb & Bertholet are about to publish a Nat. History of the Canary islands 3. It will I doubt not be highly interesting.
Very faithfully Yours,
W. J. Hooker
Of course if you can Order for me & tell me whom I shall pay & when I shall pay for Martius Plants you need not send Mr Hunneman’s letter, but put it into the fire.W. J. H.
