Letter received by Banks from William Roxburgh, 19 June 1813 (Series 20.60) - No. 0002

[Page 2]

It has cost me immense labour to go over all my old descriptions with the plants in my hand. To most the [indecipherable] is now added. The index to the whole I will try to finish to go with this, but fear my weak state will prevent me, for the ships are getting under weigh.

Dr. Anderson, a passenger on the Hindustan, one of the ships of this fleet has a better Alpine Rice from the snowy regions of Badrenath, which must succeed in England. He has also some other this, but my letter is called for & must finish, with best wishes for your health & compliments to Lady Banks I remain yours
Very faithfully
Wm. Roxburgh
