JDH thanks Otto Stapf for providing him with a list of Balsam names from the card catalogue. He will see to the date of Impatiens lasiophyton. JDH currently working on Meebold's collection, the best organised of any Indian collection he has seen. It includes some new species which JDH will describe for the KEW BULLETIN. JDH recommends a book he is by F.B. Bradley-Birt: THROUGH PERSIA FROM THE GULF TO THE CASPIAN. He praises the descriptions in the book, mentioning particularly the accounts of Shiraz, Sadi [Sari?] & Persepolis. He reports that his eczema has subsided & thanks Stapf for visiting & distracting him whilst he was in pain.
