              Part of Papers of Brian Houghton Hodgson

              Letter from Joseph Hooker to Brian Houghton Hodgson in which he writes that he is pleased to hear that Hodgson is active again and requests that Hodgson take care of himself particularly in the cold weather. He hopes to reach Hodgson by the 14-15th and they can go down to the foothills together. He hopes to get all his collections packed and sent off by the beginning of December. He is finding it hard to get plants and rhododendron seeds. He discusses the watershed with Hodgson; possibility of getting zoology specimens - too cold work he supposed. Hooker writes that Campbell sends his regards. He finishes by saying that Hodgsonii will stand. Handwritten, 5 sides, dated 29 October 1849.

              Letter from Joseph Hooker to Brian Houghton Hodgson. He writes that he had last written to Hodgson on his way to meet the Rajah. They have left [bamsong] after Christmas after a final interview with the Dewan who had been extremely attentive. The Rajah had told Archibald Campbell that Hooker could start for [Lachen] in spring. Hooker had informed the Dewan that he was certainly going. Hooker does not foresee much difficulty, Campbell having given the Dewan a warning. Hooker writes that Campbell had insisted on one who speaks Hindustani and the only one was the heir apparent's servant. Hooker continues to report on the negotiations between Campbell and the Rajah. He then talks about the geology and vegetation of the area he is travelling through. With accompanying envelope. Handwritten, 4 sides, dated 28 December 1848.
