demands, cannot be so properly applied as to make up to you the 

 loss you sustained, on the above parcel of seeds. I shall therefore 

 pay to any person you please to name, the above sum of 1 : 10. 



The managers of this Society are very sensible of your great 

 botanical merits, and would incline that the payment presently to 

 be made to you, should in some degree convey with it the sense 

 they have of your merit ; and therefore, would incline, instead of 

 the 1 : 10 in specie, to send you a gold medal, or piece of silver 

 plate, of at least equal value, with a suitable inscription thereupon.* 



Be pleased, therefore, to inform me which will be most agree- 

 able. 



I heartily wish every good thing to you and to your family, and 

 am, with much regard, sir, 



Your most obedient, humble servant, 



John Hor-E. 



Edinburgh, 23d March, 1771. 



THOMAS LAMBOLL TO JOHN BARTRAM. 



South Carolina, Charleston, November 11th, 17G-3. 



Dear Friend Bartram : 



Since my last of the 8th inst., per Captain Mayson, he told me 

 he should not sail before Saturday ; so I have got one other flour 

 barrel filled for you with potatoes, mostly what are called Brim- 

 stone ; and another box with some young Loblolly Bays, one 

 Senna bush, and the shrub you desired in earth. * * * 



Doctor Garden is in a very dangerous and critical state, with 

 an abscess in his lungs ; and intends to leave this province soon, 

 for his health. 



I remain, with compliments, 



Your real friend to serve, 



Thomas Lamboll. 



South Carolina, Charleston, September loth, 1704. 



Dear Friend Bartram : 



Your renewed favour of the 14th ult., with a box containing 



* A gold medal, weighing one ounce and seven grains ivas subsequently sent.
