No Binding. Zustand: Very Good. Signed letter from the admiralty official and explorer, John Barrow (1764-1848), to the botanist, William Jackson Hooker (1785-1865), discussing the explorer Hugh Clapperton's mission to West Africa in 1825. 'My dear Sir, I this morning found your letter of the 11th & its enclosure, the latter of which I have forwarded to Portsmouth where I hope it will reach Mr Morrison before the ship sails, which I think will not be till the 18th til the soonest. I am equally. glad that Mr Morrison is engaged as I have no great opinion of the talent of Mr Dickson as a ?, but being and old friend of Capt Clapperton and showing a most eager desire to go and do his best, Lord Bathurst very good naturedly allowed him to do so, however he was equally ready to appoint Mr Morrison.Your very obliging offer to undertake the botanical part of any discoveries that may be made is highly creditable and to that readyness on your part the public is very much indebted. On the last expedition little has been done in that way. Poor Rodney might be considered as hors de combat at ?? and ought to have returned from there, for I do not find from his few notes that he either collected or described anything; and the other two had no knowledge of natural history - they however have brought home a few specimens of minerals & plants, the animals appear to be precisely those of Southern Africa - both birds and beasts. I believe Mr Brown has taken the few specimens of plants & fruits. What he will make of the mango in its wild state I know not, but I suppose it has hitherto been considered exclusively asiatic.'.
