Description
Morris hopes that within the next two weeks he will be able to acknowledge the letters he received from Thiselton-Dyer prior to Morris' departure from Jamaica. Morris left Kingston [Jamaica] on 20 Apr 1883 aboard the 'Aloena' along with Sir Anthony Musgrave, the Attorney General, arriving in New York eight days later. He has been visiting Museums and other 'Kindred Institutions' and travels today to the Department of Agriculture at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington [D.C]. After returning from Washington, he will travel through Baltimore, Philadelphia and the Canadian side of Niagara before sailing on the SS 'Sardinian' for Liverpool. Morris hopes that Syme will decide to stay in his place for good. Pages 1 and 4 of 4.
