Abstract
PROF. J. WALTON, regius professor of botany in the University of Glasgow, has recently acquired a letter (the text of which follows) written by Sir William Hooker, the well-known British botanist who was regius professor of botany at Glasgow during 1820-41, after which he was appointed director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, where he was followed by his equally illustrious son, Sir Joseph Hooker. The letter was written from Halesworth to Mr. Morris Pollock of Glasgow, on September 22, 1820. Prof. Walton informs us that it will be preserved in the University of Glasgow ; he does not know whether the silver vasculum referred to still exists. The corrections and mis-spellings are as in the original manuscript.
