Allow me to ask, dear Mr Deane, whether you have any flowering and fruiting specimens of Acacia pruinosa as material for my Decades of Acacias. The Rev. Dr Woolls mentions, that you had found that sp. near Hornsbye

i.e. Hornsby, NSW.

I hope you will be one of the parties for the ascent of Mt Seaview

NSW.

during the holidays Mr Maiden takes a great interest in the project
