Description

McIvor has received a letter from the Post Master General, Madras, insisting that he pay the postage of the two packets sent to the RBG Kew superintendent on Her Majesty's service. McIvor had understood from the Secretary of the Admiralty that seeds and specimens for RBG Kew went free. McIvor has since discovered that, as the Superintendent of a botanical garden, he is entitled to frank packages sent in public service and pertaining to the business of the department. McIvor is delaying sending Hooker the promised seeds and specimens until this matter is settled. Pages 1 and 4 of 4.
