To William Whewell   4 April 1851

My dear Whewell,

My paragraph may stand with the addition of the following–

B N. B. Part [illeg.] of Balfour's Manual contains all, or nearly all, that will be required on the Structure & Physiology of Plants– And our British plants should be examined by the Floras of either Hooker & Arnott or Babington, for obtaining such information as will be necessary to qualify a student for describing plants contained in the few Orders named in the Syllabus, & to be illustrated during the Lectures–

Dr Hooker has been with us since Monday, & I went to Ipswich yesterday with him & F. & F. or I would have had answered your letter sooner–

Kind regards to Mrs Whewell & | believe me | Ever yr truly | J S Henslow
