Dear Sir

I enclose another of No 9 from Barte Frere2 which you say is new & I have but two small single flower specimens left

My brother3 has made up his mind to thoroughly explore Mt Barte Frere next month & the result will I think be very satisfactory he is a splendid collector

Christy Palmerston does not expect anything sent him. A few lines from you thanking him for the plants would be appreciated by him

Yours sincerely

T. A. Gulliver

"No 9 Flower most beautiful white bell shaped inner surface crinkled tree or bush stunted Flowers became discolored shortly after plucking"
