The foundations of the Royal Botanical Garden The foundations of the Royal Botanical Garden

to complete the duties I have undertaken for the Horticultural Society I desire not to make any demand hereafter for such plants as may remain upon the ground when the time of my leave of occupation may expire the only compensation in any case that I might seek would be for the labour of the cultivation (at a valuation) should the same be rendered available for the purposes of a public Nursery. I have the honor to be Sir Your Honor's Most Obt Humble Servant Daniel Bunce PS May I request the ? of an answer being left with Mr Harrington Chemist Collins Street (bottom corner) told to look about him & to say what ground he considers best adapted for the formation of a botanic garden.
