My dear Baron,
I send you the first part of Review from the S. Mail:2 the rest will follow next week. I have also sent a short notice to the S. M. Herald.3
Where does your Acacia acradenia occur?
I send you a few leaves & an unripe of pod4 from a fine spreading tree growing in a friend's garden. He says the seed came from the Macquarie.5 I fancy it must be your A. iteaphylla, but I have not seen the flower.
Hoping that you are now well again6
Yours very sincerely
W. Woolls
P.S. I have not used the catheter for a week, & am doing well
Acacia acradenia
Acacia iteaphylla
