Dear Carter,

          I have made some progress in 

the examination of the seeds and fruits 

that you brought to Kew, but I have 

been interrupted a good deal by questions 

from Kew people and outsiders, so have 

not given a great amount of time to 

the examination so far. Should you need 

my observations for the book you have

in preparation, I will endeavour to 

hurry up with the work. There is a good 

deal of verification to be done in the case 

of specimens provisionally named, and I 

hope that in some cases determination of 

the species may be possible.

                              Yours sincerely

                                   L. A. Boodle
