Scope and content
Letter from Joseph Hooker to Brian Houghton Hodgson in which he thanks Hodgson for his last letter with its kind invitation to spend another season with Hodgson in Darjeeling. He hopes it will be possible. He is glad Hodgson has gone down to the Plains and will join him as soon as possible. He will be enroute for [Tongri] in two days and will visit Tapiding and Pemiongchi. Then he will need a few days to pack and send his specimens to Calcutta. He writes that Archibald Campbell is going to the border to the mouths of [Zestta] and [Mahi] and would like Hooker to accompany him but he doubts that he will this time. He meant to send Hodgson a cheque from his Calcutta agents but neglected to do so, therefore he sends one enclosed. He also sends Sabine's letter. He has written to Colville asking him to send Hooker's boxes. He also encloses Whelland's letter. Handwritten, 4 sides, dated 29 December 1848.
