My Dear Baron,
Will you kindly suggest the names of some Works on Botany which you consider it would be advisable to add to the Collection in the Public Library.
Useful practical books would be preferred to expensive illustrated folios.
Probably two hundred pounds may be available.
I have the honor to be
my Dear Baron
yours very faithfully
Redmond Barry
