 My Dear Friend


 Firstly I send back
 my letter [added: of 25th], which "I expect"
 you enclosed back to me accidentally,
 and are now wondering what has
 become of it.


 I do not believe you will get
 Bot. [Botanical] Herald. Reeve is very stiff
 with his books, and does not allw
 his authors to have any copies without 
 paying. Nor will you want it
 much. I cannot lend you my
 copy at this instant, because W. [Whipple?] is
 using it for Hong Kong Botany, but I
 will help you to anything you want.


 Somewhere in Berkeley's Crypt. 
 Bot. [Introduction to Cryptogamic Botany] I read of a large Fungus
 an Agaric? which has more
 than once grown out of bandages
 of a limb, for some time bound
 up. I have looked for the
 paragr. [paragraph] but do not turn it up.
 But it is somewhere there. This
 is not exactly parallel in all
 respects with your case, but is very near it.
