- Description: Jardine Correspondence transcribed by Jean Kelly July 2021. Transcription: Grahamstown May 14th 1867. My dear Sir Although I have a broken leg I went across to assist in obtaining the situation of Superintendent of the Botanic Garden for you yesterday. We succeeded. You are appointed at a salary of £150 a year and the use of a cottage good enough for a bachelor. I congratulate you. I am sure if you are careful to work and please that you will get on well. The gardens are prettily situated but have been badly kept and I think you will soon astonish them. You are to come at once as Mr Stone will write you. Let me advise you to bring any nice bits of seed you have especially Calceolarias, Cinerarias and such like. I brought the double Petunia and lost it. There is none here. Our geraniums are not first rate either. I hope you will be here before I leave for Cape Town. Yours Rbt [Robert?] Murray Mr McGibbon sent a […?...] testimonial for you. Be sure to thank him for it.
