Description: Jardine Correspondence transcribed by Jean Kelly July 2021. Transcription: Royal Exotic Nursery. Kings Road. Chelsea S.W. London. Nov 9th 1868. Dear Sir We received your letter of the 12th Sept and are very glad to hear the seeds arrived safely and in good order and we hope it will lead to further kind favors. We do not see any reason why Camellias should not travel well in Close Boxes, we have generally sent them to the Cape in Glass Cases but as you remark it is expensive, we can supply suitable plants at £10 per 100, or stronger @£12-10- We shall be happy to receive your order which shall have our best attention and much obligation. Yours truly. James Veitch & Sons. p.p. Thomas Murray. P.S. Private. Do you know Mr Murray of your Town and is he safe, he was formerly of Cape Town.
