To J. D. Hooker   [26 March 1845]

[Down]

Wednesday

My dear Hooker

I received your letter & the edifying pamphlet yesterday & as our carrier goes tonight I will return it & Wilkes,1 & your Pacific M.S. by him.

I see the Un. St. Ex. Ex. make the Sandwich Flora eminently peculiar to itself.2

Your books will go by the Boat on Thursday or Friday.— I will write again in a few days

Ever Yours | C. D
