JDH urges Asa Gray to publish his botanical writings as a collection, such a work would help JDH with the preparation of Rubiaceae for GENERA PLANTARUM. He complains that the profusion of botanical literature written in the Unites States of America is left to be catalogued, arranged & distilled by British botanists. JDH's mother [Lady Maria Hooker] is ill in Norwich. No news of [George] Bentham. [Daniel] Oliver has not returned from Skye. JDH has told Milligan to send Gray a set of his Tasmanian specimens.
