ROYAL BOTANIC GARDENS, KEW.

Sept. 10/78

Dear Mr Wallace

I have just returned from wandering in Ireland, the slave of wind rain & mist — which guided or rather frustrated my movements.

I will sign any memorial2 in your favor with pleasure — but fear I do not know a soul (or rather a body as Corporations have notoriously no souls) in the Corporation.
