In reply to your letter just received, I beg to state that I will gladly give for the Indiann plants, brought by our late lamented friend, the Rev. J. Tenison Woods,1 £10, for the Japanese plants, also, £10, and for the Australian £5; total £25. This would be more than such specimens would fetch in Europe. As regards the drawings …2 these as well as the loose specimens of fruits and seeds should prove useful to the technological museum of Sydney; so I would advise you to offer them to Mr. Maiden. I like still to mention that if the dried specimens of plants should come here they would be preserved with the utmost care for all time in the Government Herbarium and all be labelled in due remembrance of our departed friend.
