My dear Sir William.

I have much pleasure in announcing to you, that I have arranged for the shipment of a case of Leguminosae to you pr. "Result"1

Bill of loading will be transmitted to you by the Ship, simultaneously with this note, and a duplicate by the overland mail, by which I shall communicate more fully.

Ever most regardfully

yours

Leguminosae

M's notebook recording despatch of plants to Kew for Flora australiensis (RB MSS M44, Library, Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne) indicates that the Leguminosae (case No. 9) were carried not on Result but on Suffolk, which sailed on 20 January 1863. See also M to W. Hooker, 23 January 1863, and M to G. Bentham, 24 January 1863.
