To William Wilson 12 January 1832

My dear Sir,

As I wish you to see a little memoir which I lately read to our Phil. Soc. I shall not delay any longer sending the few plants which have been laid aside from time to time for you - when I have looked over my recent acquisitions. They cannot repay the treasures which I have received from you but you may be assured they are as much as I have had to send. I shall continue to adopt the same plan for the future & if there are any species of which you more particularly want duplicates I will make an additional accommodation to that effect. I have the initials of certain names entered in a Book against the species required by my correspondents, which saves me a great deal of trouble & enables me to be more precise in sending their desiderata as they chance to turn up. Your notes on British plants published in the miscellany I esteem very highly. Are you likely to meet the British association at Oxford next year? If so, I trust we shall meet there

Yrs ever sincerely

J. S. Henslow
