My dear old friend.
I must just have pleasure of saying this.

I have a long letter from Dr Haast: I do not know whether you would care to see it. It has something on spreading of European plants.1

The letter from Julius von Haast, 21 July [– 7? August] 1863, contained information on the spread of European plants and animals in New Zealand. See letter from Julius von Haast, 21 July[–7? August] 1863 and nn. 16 and 17, and letter from J. D. Hooker to Emma Darwin, 11 November 1863 and nn. 3–5.
