My dear Baron,
Sloanea Woollsii (distinguished from the other species by its 2 valved capsule) was sent to me by Mr. A. Rudder from Booral.

NSW.
It belongs to the Northern Districts of N.S.W. & the Southern Ranges of Queensland. Mr. Rudder describes it as a splendid tree from upland ranges.
I am not quite so well again. The weather is very trying.
Yours very Sincerely
W. Woolls
Mr. Rudder is a very meritorious man. I hope Mr Brown will appreciate his zeal.
