Henry has received a letter from Ichang [Yichang] from a gentleman who has been on the Tibetan-Szechwan frontier. Henry has transcribed an extract from that letter, which reports that Henry's man was taken as far as 'Ma Shan' and, as the flora was interesting he was left there whilst the party went on to Ta chen lu. Henry's man made a nice collection of plants and many of them may prove new. Henry's gentleman correspondent promises to send the plants to the address Henry provided. Henry writes that his sister is improving [in health], but slowly; he will not be able to get to London for another fortnight. Annotated by 'D.O.' [Daniel Oliver] who suggests it would be worth paying the native collector for further explorations. An annotation in another hand mentions a list of a previous collection and Daniel Oliver further adds that Kennedy[?] still has some of the Corolliferae. Pages 1 and 3 of 3.
