Dear Sir, 
I am engaged in publishing a new edition of my book about the Douglas pine 
and other kinds of American trees suitable for our forests and should be very 
much obliged if you could let me know of any American publications concerning this 
subject which might be of use to me or help me in any way. I also should appreciate 
knowing the titles of the papers published by you, up to now I only know the very 
interesting ones which have appeared in the Gardeners Chronicle. I am enclosing 
a note of my good friend Sir J. Hocker who is supporting my request. 
Some days ago I spoke with Dr. Bolle in Berlin who sends his greetings. 
May I send you my book? 
Awaiting your reply, I remain, 
Yours obediently, 
John Booth
