Buenos Ayres, en Corrientes 
au soins de M. Barclay, Botaniste anglais. 
My dear Sir, 
You will Idndly recollect niy ñame perhaps. For it is 
now 28 years since I had the great pleausure of being intro- 
duced to you in Paris by your illustrious fellow, Humboldt. 
Since that I have been Regius Professor of Botany in the 
University of Glasgow for 20 years, & now I am recently 
appointed Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens of Kew. ..

Barclay ses recherches.]

papier bleu. 
My dear Sir, 
Capt. Gore, H. B. M. Chargé d’Affaires at Monte Video, 
has done me the honour to send me a communication 
through Lord Palmerston, our Chief Secretary of the Foreign 
Office, to the effect that you have generously ofíered to 
transmit to the Royal Gardens of Kew duplicates of rare 
specimens of Plants etc. 
Except what Mr. Tweedie has sent us from Buenos Ayres, 
ive know nothing of the vegetation of the regions you have 
visited and therefore all that you thought worth collecting 
will be sure to be valuable to us: & you need make no par¬ 
ticular selection. I had hopes at one time of receiving 
plants from a man of the ñame of Barclay, but he preferred 
brandy to fulfilling his duties, & we got nothing from him. 
I often reflect on the pleasant interview I had with you 
at Paris, when our mutual friend Humboldt introduced me 
to your personal acquaintance. . ..
