          Ungnadia. I have written to him for a copy of the account 
of the genus & you shall soon have it, & anything 
else I can send you. I wish you could repeat 
your visit here. We should all be so glad to see you. My
father often speaks of you with true affection. He is 
well & enters his 85th year this day. We were much 
pleased with Dr. Bachman of Charlestown S. Carol. [Charleston, South Carolina] who 
spent some days with me last week. But Lady Hooker 
did not see him. She & my 3 daughters are all in England, 
2 with their mother at Yarmouth & the eldest

at Oxford with her aunt. William is now an M.D. & very 
fond of his profession. Joseph will be naturalist. He is now 
botanizing in the west of Ireland with Dr. Graham & a large 
party. He is then going to Newcastle & to visit Dr. Richardson 
at Haslar Hospital. Has Dr. Fisk published his
tour in Europe? & is it good? as I should expect from the character
of the man. My only companions, my father & William join
me in most affectionate regards to you & all that are dear to you.

Your ever attached 
W.J. Hooker
