Description
Thwaites writes to introduce Hooker to his friend Mr Reginald Beauchamp Downall, who kindly takes charge of a Wardian case of growing plants for Hooker. Hooker could gratify his friend very much if he could put Downall in the way of seeing the most interesting things at RBG Kew. Downall has, for some time, been a near neighbour of Thwaites' and can tell Hooker a good deal about the Peradeniya garden. Downall is also an avid sportsman. Page 1 of 3.
