Description
Nicholls left, in Antigua, some specimens of plants collected from that island, Barbuda and Sandy Island. These will be forwarded to RBG Kew. Nicholls will be glad to welcome Mr Barber when he arrives in the colony and will do all he can to help him in his work. Nicholls hopes to visit the small island they are currently passing and will send on to RBG Kew the collections he makes. He is now on route to the Virgin Islands. He was glad to find Mr Tillson had made much progress during the last nine months at the Antigua Botanic Station and, considering the difficulties he has contended with, Nicholls thinks he has done well. Nicholls mentions that Tillson has no potting house or tool shed and that to carry on his duties satisfactorily he might be provided with a residence at the station. Annotated by 'J.G.B.' [John Gilbert Baker] noting specimens were received on 22 Oct 1891. Page 1 of 3.
