Description
[The handwriting in this letter is very difficult to decipher but the description is as follows] Campbell begins the letter by relating to Thiselton-Dyer some correspondence he has had with a Mr Garnett regarding the Liberian Coffee seed. Mr Garnett has also asked Campbell whether he has any information regarding 'China Grass'. He thanks Thiselton-Dyer for sending Wagatea spicata which Campbell has distributed, but cannot find the genus in his books. He reports that Mr im Thurm has returned from a journey to the interior in bad health, and as of yet has not seen the expedition's report. He also informs Thiselton-Dyer that McTurk is working 'diligently in rearranging the Museum'. Pages 1 and 4 of 4.
