Munro received Hooker's letter upon his return from Jamaica and enquires whether Hooker has any particular instructions for him before he departs the West Indies in June. He has tired of the tropical climate, but intends to take his wife to Trinidad on the way home. Munro intends to take home some special West Indian plants including two of the 'creeping bamboos'. He has some fine Turks Head Cacti and a nice plant of Warszewiczia coccinea. He mentions Polgrave's plans to sail for St Thomas and then Demerara and asks Hooker to inform Oliver that Mr Joseph intends to return to England after visiting Montserrat. Munro discusses the resignation of the current Governor, Rawson, who looks forward to 'living in the neighbourhood of London'. He thanks Hooker for sending him a publication, but notes the absence of Ficus. He concludes by sending his and his wife's regards to the Hookers and Harriet. Pages 1 and 4 of 6.
