Dear Sir We received your letter of the 12th Sept and are very glad to hear the seeds arrived safely and in good order and we hope it will lead to further kind favors. We do not see any reason why Camellias should not travel well in Close Boxes, we have generally sent them to the Cape in Glass Cases but as you remark it is expensive, we can supply suitable plants at £10 per 100, or stronger @£12-10- We shall be happy to receive your order which shall have our best attention and much obligation. Yours truly. James Veitch & Sons. p.p. Thomas Murray. P.S. Private. Do you know Mr Murray of your Town and is he safe, he was formerly of Cape Town.

- Description: Jardine Correspondence transcribed by Jean Kelly July 2021. Transcription: Royal Exotic Nursery. Kings Road. Chelsea S.W. London. Nov 9th 1868. Dear Sir We received your letter of the 12th Sept and are very glad to hear the seeds arrived safely and in good order and we hope it will lead to further kind favors. We do not see any reason why Camellias should not travel well in Close Boxes, we have generally sent them to the Cape in Glass Cases but as you remark it is expensive, we can supply suitable plants at £10 per 100, or stronger @£12-10- We shall be happy to receive your order which shall have our best attention and much obligation. Yours truly. James Veitch & Sons. p.p. Thomas Murray. P.S. Private. Do you know Mr Murray of your Town and is he safe, he was formerly of Cape Town.

- 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.

My dear Sir Although I have a broken leg I went across to assist in obtaining the situation of Superintendent of the Botanic Garden for you yesterday. We succeeded. You are appointed at a salary of £150 a year and the use of a cottage good enough for a bachelor. I congratulate you. I am sure if you are careful to work and please that you will get on well. The gardens are prettily situated but have been badly kept and I think you will soon astonish them. You are to come at once as Mr Stone will write you. Let me advise you to bring any nice bits of seed you have especially Calceolarias, Cinerarias and such like. I brought the double Petunia and lost it. There is none here. Our geraniums are not first rate either. I hope you will be here before I leave for Cape Town. Yours Rbt [Robert?] Murray Mr McGibbon sent a […?...] testimonial for you. Be sure to thank him for it.
