My dear Sir

My friend Booth (now Dr. Booth)
is going to send a parcel to America tomorrow
and I am unwilling not take
advantage of the opportunity —though
I send off my last parcel so recently.
In fact I have at this moment nothing
to send except some plants gathered
in my last excursion, which was to
the Clove mountains in Ayrshire along
with Hooker & Burchell the African traveller [?].

The great rarity of some of them as
british plants, must make up for their
small number. By this occasion I
send M. Schweniz some British Mosses
