My dear Holt turn, 
Ghipp -went off to the Soudan and Cyprus at 
the beginning of the month , and the ^‘‘ew Bulletin was made 
up for the rest of the year before he went. As' Hill does 
not want my paper 'on Brassica, will the Asiatic Society 
tfike it, I have made a -I’lfh and clean copy so that there 
should be little trouble with proofs, and I ' shall not need X 
to see them. 2s ' W,,,..'. A - /C/o

Hooper has not let me have a,ny MS. of his paper on 
Chinese drugs. Dr. Augustine ttenry v/;oj.s in on TimBddyy^ooking 
for Hooper, wgio had expecteci him on Tuesday: and* so they played 
atN dross-purposes. But Henr 2 ^’s visit is resulting in ray making 
enquiries here for printers who ha,ve Chinese t^rpe, and there¬ 
fore tould print the whole laaper as part 3, of vol. 5 of your

nese instea,d of the harharisms' of the drug-seller in ^atu 
Sajah, and the Chinese chara-cters will enable the barbarian to 
reproduce his sounds. '
