          yet.

Drs. [Joseph Dalton] Hooker & Thomson
are very busy here with
their vast collections, &
are printing a specimen of
their Flora Indica. Dr. Hooker 
is also engaged on the
Flora Tasmaniae, his
Fl. [Flora] of N. [New] Zealand having
been just completed.

Lady Hooker is just now
on a visit to her sister at 
Oxford, or she would
join me in affectionate
regards & good wishes
to you & all yours. Your
last brochures of new plants
was beautiful. Your pitcher
plant glorious. Shall you
ever have a specimen to spare.

Ever yours 
W. J. Hooker
