9/8/85

Allow me, dear Mr Jackson, to send you the enclosed letter from the Rev R. Thom.

See R. Thom to M, 4 August 1885.

I have advised him, to make some London Book seller his Agent at the L.S.

Is Mr Haviland of Sydney elected? He was proposed by Rev Dr Woolls, Mr Fitzgerald and myself some time ago.

Robert Fitzgerald; Havilland was proposed in M to the Linnean Society of London in April 1885 (in this edition as 85-04-00b).

He is a most zealous observer of the fecundation of plants through insect-agency.

Regardfully
