"Having received from Messrs. Macmillan on publication their advance of £50 on Royalty of Spruce's1 "Notes of a Botanist"—I send you £20 as agreed, for the use of the MSS. etc.... The book is plain and solid and I think such as Spruce would himself have liked... If you see any good reviews in Local newspapers please send me cuttings."

Spruce, Richard (1817-1893). British botanist, explorer and collector in the Amazon; lifelong friend of ARW.
