Teysmann [Teijsmann] thanks Hooker for a case of plants received per the 'Amazon', Captain Dannberg. The contents were not in very good condition, most were dead, only numbers seven, nine, eleven, thirteen and fifteen were alive. Teysmann assumes that the case was not put in a good position on the ship: this is a problem he often encounters when sending plants. Teysmann has found a good opportunity to return Hooker's case on the HM War Steamer 'Princess Royal' with the protection of the Vice Admiral George St Vincent King. Teysmann is enclosing a list of the plants [not present]. Teysmann has already sent another case containing seeds of palms in sand to the English Consul at Batavia, who has promised to forward them to Hooker quickly. Teysmann does not find it ideal to send many species at once, as they have different times for ripening. Teysmann invites Hooker to send him a list of desiderata. He hopes Hooker has received the catalogue of the Buitenzorg [Bogor] Garden so he knows what plants they have. Annotated. Page 1 of 3.
