JDH informs Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer [WTTD] that he will be happy to publish the Pisum, brought to his attention by [Isaac Henry] Burkill, in the BOTANICAL MAGAZINE of Apr 1900, if Miss [Matilda] Smith. JDH has written to Lord Rayleigh objecting to the building of a laboratory on a site close to the boundary wall of TBG Kew on account of the fact that it would be an eyesore for those in the Gardens. JDH recommends that Richmond & WTTD also intervene in the matter. JDH laments the death of one of his oldest friends [Sir James] Paget, he recalls botanising with him in their teens & serving as examiners together for the Army, Navy & East India Company. JDH offers to show WTTD a book of 'the pictures at Yarmouth'.
