My dear Mb, Henky, 



I have great pleasure in dedicating to you a volume of 

 the Botanical Magazine, a work which has of late years heen so 

 greatly enriched through your indefatigable exertions in exploring 

 the Flora of the interior of China, which have resulted in the 

 discovery and introduction into cultivation of a host of plants of 

 as great botanical as horticultural interest. 



Believe me, 



Very sincerely yours, 



Jos. D. HOOKER.
