Sir

I have sent, on the Phonix [Phoenix], per favour of Mr Charles Cockerell, a basket containing 33 sorts of seeds, for His Majestys Garden at Kew, addressed to you as usual.  Thirty two of these articles were collected in the Jungles and I have not got a name for any of them.  The 33d is called the Geela and is, I suppose, known to you.  I have the pleasure to wish you many happy new years
and
