is probably the last letter I shall 
ever addressed to you from this 
place. My books are all packed 
in boxes, I am dismantling the

everything, will, by the 15th 
of next month, be on its 
way to Kew & there, as Director 
of the Royl. Bot. [Royal Botanical] Garden

shall hope often to hear from 
you & our good Dr. Gray, & 
happier still would it make 
me if I could see you both 
there. Before I leave thus
