Letter from Joseph Hooker to Brian Houghton Hodgson in which he writes about his travels: no villages until Lachon which is cut off in June by the torrents. No-one in the plain has seen an Englishman before. They have good horses, but no yak. He writes of the vegetation and the vistas. Hooker writes that the route is very hard but wishes Hodgson could see this country; he is finding many new plants. With accompanying envelope. Handwritten, 12 sides, dated 28 May 1849.
