 Extract from Bentham's Journal (letters) in
 Hook. Lond. Jour. Bot. [W.J. Hooker's London Journal of Botany] for Oct.


 "Prof. Wikstrom is most anxious to increase it, and 
 spares no labor in making up parcels for exchange; but 
 the Academy is unable to allow sufficient funds for the 
 purchase of specimens, and whether from the difficulty of 
 communication or the want of time on the part of the generality 
 of botanists for keeping up distant correspondence, he has 
 experienced much disappointment in not receiving the 
 expected acknowledgment from those to whom he has 
 sent specimens."   p. 531.


 I copy this, since I have an impression that 
 you have received parcels from Wikstrom, possibly 
 as yet unacknowledged.
