1790.] TO HUMPHRY MARSHALL. 



These, sir, packed and directed in the same manner, with ae 

 many of these particular plants as you happen to meet with, will be 

 very acceptable here. 



I beg the favour of you to advise me of the ship by which they are 

 sent, and I shall with great pleasure pay the amount. 



I am, sir, your most bumble servant, 



Jos. Banes. 



London, Soho Square, April 3, 1790. 



Sir: 



The plants sent by you, this year, arrived safe and in good con- 

 dition, except that some of the pieces of the root of Violas, &c, 

 were so small, that I fear we shall not be able to preserve them. I 

 should be glad if larger pieces could be sent in future, even though 

 a higher price was charged. 



Your bill was as your bills always will be honoured imme- 

 diately. 



Enclosed is a list for this year : the plants of which I should wish 

 to receive in the autumn, about the same time as the last came 

 here, as that is the best season for sending. The list is forwarded 

 early, as some of the plants may be to be sought for, in the course 

 of the summer. 



I am, sir, your most humble servant, 



Jos. Banks. 



DR. MOSES MARSHALL TO SIR JOS. BANKS. 



PMlada., October 30th, 1790. 



Sir Jos. Banks: 



Your order of April last, addressed to my uncle, was duly receh ed ; 

 and in compliance therewith I send a box of plants, list of con- 

 tents, &c, inclosed. 



In May last, I sat out upon a botanic tour, by way of Juniata to 

 Pittsburg, thence southward, up the Monongahela, upon Green 

 Briar Biver, over New River to Holston, Nolichucky, &c. Then 

 crossino- the high and great chain of mountains, came upon the 

 head waters of Santee, in South Carolina ; thence by Ninety-six to 

 Augusta, and to Savannah town, and continuing southwest to the 

 river Alatamaha, in Georgia. I here found the Franklinia, or 

 G-ordonia sessilis, better called: i. e.floribus sessilibus.
