- Description: Jardine Correspondence transcribed by Jean Kelly August 2021. Transcription: Graham’s Town. May 1st 1864. [No salutation.] As I intend returning to England by the Mail Steamer which will leave Table Bay on the 20th June, I shall be much obliged to you, Walter, if you will plant the Ferns you have for me in a Wardian Case ready for their journey. I think they had better be put into the Wardian Case at once so that they may have taken good root before the time comes for closing the case. The case need not be closed till after I come down to Cape Town I expect to be there about the 13th or 14th of June. The last batch of Ferns I sent home were planted in rows, with thin boards laid along the top between the rows to keep the soil unmoved; and they reached home in very good order. I also want to take the Disa plants home with me. I am told that if they have died down, the bulbs had better be packed in dry sand; but if they have not died down, &* are still in leaf, they had better be planted in the case with the Ferns. If you have not got Wardian Case, which you can let me have, please ask Col. Travers to get one from Mr McGibbon at the Botanical Garden. Keep an account of any expenses you may incur, and I will repay you when I come down to Cape Town. I shall also be very much obliged if you could send me here some good Disa plants for the Botanical Gardens in this town, where they are very much wanted. They had better be packed in moss or dry sand, & put into a tin box, and then sent up by the post cart. If you should not be able to do this, or have any difficulties with respect to the Ferns, please write to let me know at once. Yours faithfully, Edmund R Wodehouse. Envelope addressed to: Mr Walter Jardine The Vineyard Claremont Cape Town. Pencilled note on envelope: Son of the Governor, Sir P Wodehouse.
