398 OBSERVATIONS ON THE DISEASES, &C. 



I beg permission to lay before your Honourable 

 Board several specimens of parts of trees which 

 have been injured in a manner similar to those you 

 have alluded to ; others which have been healed 

 by the method J have before mentioned. But the 

 most effectual means of demonstrating the utility 

 of this application, is the many fruit and forest- 

 trees now growing in His Majesty's Royal Gardens 

 at Kensington, which I shall be happy to show 

 you. 



Your Honourable Board, considering the short- 

 ness of time, will, 1 trust, make every allowance 

 for any inaccuracy in this answer to the letter you 

 favoured me with, and permit me to subscribe 

 myself, 



With the greatest respect, 



Your most obedient, 



humble Servant, 



WjLLTAM Forsyth. 



To the Honourable the 



Commimo7iers of the Land Revenue.
