Description

In looking over the papers of his late brother C.C. Todd, late Surgeon, Royal Navy, Mr Todd finds two letters from Hooker in which Hooker proposed to return the specimens of plants C.C. Todd sent him. Having no doubt heard of C.C. Todd's death from Dr Richardson, Hooker may have decided not to return the plants. As Mr Todd's son is studying botany, the specimens will materially forward his exertions, particularly as his uncle left a short account of many of them. Mr Todd requests, therefore, that Hooker send the specimens as promised and hopes they have been serviceable to Hooker in the compilation of his Flora. Page 1 of 1.
