          My dear Sir,

I send you one or two introductory
letters for my friends in Paris; also
for M. Roeper.

I need not say that I would wish
them actually delivered, because
Jussieu's, Delessert's, and Guillemin's 
contain other matters than mere introductions, 
which I have taken the
liberty of writing to them about by you.

I hope you will find your way
to Switzerland by Basle, but if
circumstances prevent your going
that way, or you don't go to see
De Candolle [Alphonse de Candolle] at all, then perhaps you
will get my letter conveyed to Roeper
by post, as it concerns Dr. Wight's and
my Penins. Ind. Flora [Prodromus florae peninsulae Indiae orientalis].
