Dear Sir William.
I have much pleasure of sending you a copy of invoice of a few articles, which I have
forwarded pr. "

You will perceive, that this brings up the timber specimens to 463 pieces. With exception
of about a dozend, sent with others pr. Great Britain, and which are intended for
fittings, it is my desire that not only all these timbers but also the other vegetable
products
in toto
should be placed at your disposal for deposition in Kew after the close of the Exhibition
