Handwritten letter from James E. Bagnall to unnamed recipient (likely Professor West). Apologises for not meeting the recipient. Mentions his large herbarium, specifically the moss portion which is large, and says that he would "should have much liked it to be installed in the museum connected with Birmingham University" in his "native city". Gives the size of the sheets and how much room things take up, and says that he would like to properly sort out and fix his herbarium first. Says that if the recipient thinks that the University will not be able to house his herbarium, will still send the recipient some things if wanted.
