Scope and content
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.
