From J. D. Hooker 17 [November 1873]1
Royal Gardens Kew
Monday 17
Dr. Darwin
The Mimosa albida goes herewith—& the Eucalypti go today to Orpington.2 We have no species with glaucous vertical leaves when young.
I go to Glasgow by night train tomorrow to installation of D’Israeli at my Alma Mater as Lord Rector, when they dub me L.L.D.—a most horrid bore.3 I shall return next night.
I enclose scraps of Herbarium specimens of the glaucous plants you named.
I hope you are better.
Ever yrs affec | Jos D Hooker.
