BENEFITS TO BE EXPECTED. 83 



the further diffusion of the benefits which have 

 already been conferred on Society by the Horti- 

 cultural Society of London. 



The only return we can make you for the ser- 

 vices we hope to receive at your hands, is a proffer 

 of procuring for you a collection of Hill seeds from 

 our gigantic neighbours of Hymalya, which we 

 think would, in many instances, prove acceptable 

 addenda to your gardens in England. We are 

 afraid, however, that the extensive labours of Dr. 

 Wallich and Dr. Royle, have left us but little to do. 



We shall be very thankful by your having the 

 goodness to communicate this letter to the Secre- 

 tary of the Royal Asiatic Society, with the view 

 of obtaining, as he will no doubt be happy to 

 give it, his assistance in procuring the various 

 articles we stand in need of, and we shall especially 

 wish it to be submitted to the Right Honourable 

 Sir A. Johnstone, V. P. of that Institution, than 

 whom we know no one more capable of directing 

 us as to the general objects we ought to fix our 

 general attention on.
