Your kind announcement, dear Prof Abbot, of my election, reached me only quite recently, along with some publications from various places of the U.S. through some channel unknown to me; so that I cannot say, where the detention occurred. Thus my tardy acknowledgement will be excused. If you wrote to the excellent Mr. George Davis, Medical Publisher at Detroit, that liberal Gentleman, would be sure to send you a copy of his American edition of my "select plants for industrial culture and naturalisation."
