JDH informs Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer that having consulted Mr Rising of Yarmouth & Mr F. Symonds of Hereford he will add William 'Willy' Henslow Hooker & Charles 'Charlie' Paget Hooker as trustees [of his will?]. JDH has visited Captain Oliver at Findon [Manor] & seen his collection of sketches made in Japan, China, The Cape, Mauritius, Bourbon, St Helena etc, as well as his library, which is rich in books on Madagascar & the Mascarenes [Mauritius, Rodrigues, . JDH mentions the premature death of Bent, whose Mashonaland book [THE RUINED CITIES OF MASHONALAND] JDH recently bought.
