Transcribe Wilson, J. Bracebridge. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1886-02-23)

collection at S. Kensington. I have been this year collecting for D. von Lendenfeld, and the Museums of Sydney and Melbourne.

    The Marine Algre go to

Prof. Agardl in Sweden. The greatest modern authority. He has just sent me out a valuable present - a collection of all his works.

    I am very glad to hear

that your most excellent and valuable institution is flourishing. It should be regarded as of importance far beyond what mere dollars can measure - though I heartily wish you plenty of them in return for your arduous and honorable toil. With very Kind regard Believe me Yours sincerely J Bracebridge Wilson
