Dear Sir

The Botany
was received just before
I left home & I had an opportunity
to give it more than
a cursory examination. So
far as I could judge I liked it
very much & as soon as I can
I shall be glad to look it through
carefully & will then write
you about it. With thanks
for your [courtesy?]

Yours—
G. H. [Perkins?]
