JDH informs Thiselton-Dyer that his wife, Frances Hooker, is unwell & so JDH will not be coming to work [in the RBG Kew herbarium] for a few days. He asks Thiselton-Dyer to consult Mrs Hooker's letters to determine what needs doing, & to continue work on the FLORA INDICA. If he completes the Dipterocarpeae Thiselton-Dyer should put the Impatiens in order for description. JDH has written to Daniel Oliver [Keeper of the herbarium] to ask him to put miscellaneous dried collections in order by genera. JDH will need to come to work to do the BOTANICAL MAGAZINE, when will depend on his wife's health.
