Letter in which Calvert confirms sending Hooker seeds of Phytolacca dioica, Ipomea rubro-caerulea and Solanum macranthum. Calvert asks that Hooker informs him of the progress of the Ficus sycomorus plant so that replacement cuttings can be sent in the event of failure. Calvert acknowledges Hooker's request for Colocynth and doum palm seeds, and lists twelve other types of seeds to be sent including Cassia senna, Colosynth, Malcomia, Linaria, Silene succulenta, Salvia, Anchusa, dwarf Iris with a specimen of the same, and evening-fragranced Mathiola tricuspidata. Calvert writes of his intention to write to the Consular Agent at Thebes regarding doum fruit, and that Hooker will recieve a Rose of Jericho specimen in the future, but that there are no seeds of Anastacia.
