          Glasgow, July 23.

My dear Sir,

I am going to botanize
in the Highland mountains 
& hearing of an opportunity 
to send you a copy of the 
Prodromus of my friend 
De Candolle which I happen 
to have by me. I will 
write as soon as I return from 
the mountains.

Thanks for your last 
letter & book. I long for 
the continuance of your 
Flora.

Ever yours 
W.J. Hooker.
