I will now leave the rest of my journey for the present, and answer — 
your two letters of December 29 and February 17. I should indeed — 
have been glad to have seen more of Java, but at the same time I 
considered myself very fortunate in getting the chance at all: it was — 
only while I was waiting for the decision of this very slow-going Dutch — 
Government. I shall remember your hint about the Java plants, 
should the opportunity occur at some future time, but I hope I am fixed - 
to Borneo for some years to come. There is a man in Java now, a 
Mr. Henshall, but he is a mere commercial gardener. He has been out 
Some time, and sends home large quantities of Orchidee to Henderson's, 
I believe; but he is profoundly ignorant of botany. Borneo however - 
will repay investigation: it is true that near the sea we have immense - 
marshes hardly above water, but behind them are hills of gravel, sand- - 
Stone, and eruptive rocks, having on the surface large grassy plains, 
with small scattered patches of wood. Having been obliged to sur- 
vey this country very minutely, in consequence of a stupid mistake - 
in the Government Engineers’ chart, I have had the opportunity of 
running a good deal about; and though obliged to travel too quickly
