Dear Dr. Britton,
I write to express my great appreciation of the
honour you have done me by naming your newly discovered
genua “DendrocousinsiaHa As you know I am profoundly
unlearned in matters of Botany and therefore have no
claims at all from the point of view of that science to
the distinction you have conferred by naming not a species
only but an entirely new genus and that a most interest-
ing one after me*
With many thanks for your generous tribute to
my poor services in applied science which has afforded
me much gnatification and pleasure.
I am, Dear Dr. Britton,
Yours very truly,
•'V. \rf, /<tms&tt-A .
