Dear Mr Pamplin
I am already in possession of the two cases with books, which you were good enough
to forward to me pr "Kooria Mooria" and which arrived in excellent order. I was particularly
pleased with the nice copy of the transactions of the L. S.
— Be so good to tell Dr Hooker, that I would rather see the item for the library
of the annales des sciences naturelles transferred to my account.

I have sent a copy of my letter of remonstrance to Mr Th Anderson of Edinburgh by
this mail.
I hope the result will be that he will place soon fund at your command and if you
can bring some little pressure to bear on him I should feel obliged. If we utterly
fail I must soon send you a draft.

Letter not found. Pamplin's accounts show that two Bills of Exchange (£80 and £45)
drawn by Thos Anderson Esq on the National Bank of Scotland, Ed [Edinburgh?] were
'dishd' [dishonoured?] (RBG Kew, Archives, Pamplin, transactions and acccounts).
A copy of bill of loading of the 3 cases pr "Monravian" is enclosed.
Will you be so kind to forward the cases to their respective adresses and charge
me with expenses. I have also to trouble you with the distribution of transactions
of our R.S.,
which Dr Hooker will place in your hand for the purpose. Any expenses connected with
the distribution will be repayed by me.

Australia, I would be obliged for your securing it for me.

What is the price of Rees cyclop?
I mean the obsolete work, in which Sir James Smith furnished botanical notes. The
new vol. of D.C. prodromus
& of the Hook & Benth Genera,
I should like to have by mail, if not already sent.

Very regardfully
your

I would like much that you purchased for me the volumes of the L.S. transactions after
vol. xx. I
have
the third part of vol xxii and the first part of vol xxiii. To some of the wanting
numbers I am entitled as a member or fellow.
Pray do no forget to obtain for me regularly the main volumes of R. Geog. Soc.
