JDH mentions some glass damage at RBG Kew which was underestimated by [John] Smith & Wilkie. Regarding the India Museum he suggests that William Turner Thiselton-Dyer meet with Lingen on the pretence of getting his advice about financial considerations of the transfer [of India Museum collections from India House to other institutions including RBG Kew]. He may want to take an enclosed letter from the India Office [enclosure not present] to the meeting, though it says nothing of Cooke's successor. JDH briefly discusses some practicalities of building a gallery for [Marianne] North's drawings at RBG Kew. JDH will write to Bernays. Sends his love to his daughter Harriet [Thiselton-Dyer nee Hooker].
