Description
Powell acknowledges receipt of Morris' letter of 9 Oct [1891] and thanks him for the seeds he received. He apologises for the poor condition of the plants collected in Mustique, which included Bignonia unguis and Randia aculeata. The publication of Powell's report has been delayed, but he is pleased that the Trinidad cocoa plants are selling well. As the 'Curator's Lodge' is now completed, he has taken up residence in the Garden. Powell concludes by noting the recent visit of the Governor in Chief. Pages 1 and 4 of 4.
