Description: Jardine Correspondence transcribed by Jean Kelly July 2021. Transcription: Royal Gardens, Sept 24/68 My dear Sir I have the pleasure of announcing the arrival of the Wardian case with the Euphorbia and Viscum per steamer ‘Norseman’. The? Viscum was unfortunately quite dead and rotted away though the Euphorbia was, and is still, alive. I suppose the closeness of the case did not agree with it for there was no fault to find with the packing. The Ficus is alive and a fine thing which is very welcome. The mesembryanthemums though not new are always useful. The Satyrium had rotted away. The continued damp being probably too much for them. We are preparing to fill the case with [?] Conifers and return it of which due notice shall be given. Very faithfully yours J. D Hooker.
