Letter from Jos. D. Hooker [Joseph Dalton Hooker] [to George Maw]

Information

Scope & content: Written from Royal Gardens, Kew. Manuscript

Both sets of labels have arrived and are well made and well written; he thinks the economic plants will look good, and is impatient for better weather to move the plants into the new house; they will implement a fine for breaking tallies so that people are more careful; the enamelled tallies are ridiculously expensive, as Maw said, but he thanks him for looking into it; he hopes to see Maw before he leaves; he has bought a Wedgwood cup; he thanks Maw for the copy of his paper
