Description
The last mail has brought Royle two packets of seed to Hooker's address from Dr Stocks and Royle asks Hooker to call for them. Royle will send all the seed of Scaevola taccada from India, which he thinks Hooker wished for. Royle has been lame so long that he cannot venture to take any long walks and therefore has not visited RBG Kew's beautiful gardens. He concludes by mentioning that he has very little time to spare.
