Let me thank you for your interesting photograms,
dear Mr Wragge. It requires to know that both cards belong to you. It is kind of you
to offer to dry plants for me, should you ever visit a locality in the backregions
of India, known
not
to have been visited by botanists or collectors,
then pick up
any
plant, and send the parcels
by post
, the specimens closely packed and reduced to small flowering & fruiting branches,
as advised in the enclosed circular.
Your honored name would of course be quoted along with the plants, in publications
emanating therefrom.

Presumably Wragge, who was in SA at this time, had indicated to M that he was thinking
of going to India.
