Date stamped Royal Gardens Kew 10. Dec. 88.

My dear Baron

Many thanks for your note of 20th instant

Letter not found.

enclosing Mr Thiselton Dyers letter, which I will attend to at once. Some of the volumes he wants are out of print and cannot be furnished.

Thiselton-Dyer had evidently asked for volumes of the Transactions of the Royal Society of Victoria to complete the holdings at Kew.

I do not know how it is that the later ones are missing. I believe they have been forwarded. I think I had better perhaps write to Mr Dyer and explain that they have been sent addressed to Botanical Gardens Kew instead of to Royal Gardens, Kew. Perhaps they may be recoverable.

Trusting that you are now quite recovered

M had been incapacitated following a fall from a tram some weeks earlier.

I am my dear Baron

Yours sincerely

H. K. Rusden

Hon Sec

Royal Society of Victoria

I return Mr Dyer's letter
