              Letter from Henry Thomas Colebrooke to Nathaniel Wallich in which he thanks Wallich for his correspondence and his Geological and Botanical Despatches and for Mr D Scott's remarks.

He suggests that Wallich might write to his relative, Mr James Gosling, at the Cape of Good Hope who would be happy to try any specimens in his garden that Wallich thinks could flourish there. He asks about various species and botanical drawings. Handwritten, dated 8 September 1819, received 16 March 1820.

              Letter from Henry Thomas Colebrooke to Nathaniel Wallich in which he thanks Wallich for his correspondence and specimens, and congratulates him on his progress in natural history.

              Part of Papers of Henry Thomas Colebrooke

              Letter from Henry Thomas Colebrooke to Nathaniel Wallich in which he congratulates Wallich for his success in research in Nepal. Colebrooke discusses publications to send to Wallich. He again reiterates the need to send specimens directly to such institutions as the Linnaean and Geological Societies rather than to him personally. Handwritten, dated 31 July 1822, received 1 February 1823.

              GB 891 HTC-HTC/1-HTC/1/32 · File · 30 March 1824
              Part of Papers of Henry Thomas Colebrooke

              Letter from Henry Thomas Colebrooke to Nathaniel Wallich to ask Wallich whether he would like the earlier volumes of the Geological Transactions to complete his set as they are available at modest terms. Colebrooke and Mr Lambert have had an interview to request an assistant for Wallich but, as yet, do not know the outcome. The specimens that Wallich sent are still undistributed and therefore Colebrooke suggests that Wallich apportions them to men of science in future. In a postscript Colebrooke mentions that Richardson is still sending publications to Wallich. Handwritten, dated 30 March 1824, received 29 September 1824.
