Dear Andrew,
Today I visited the late Mr. Beale’s garden at Macao, who is an ardent botanical collector. Nearly the whole of the English residents left Macao and went to Hong Kong when that island was ceded to England, and all the plants in Mr. Beale’s garden which could be moved with safety were brought over in 1845 and planted in the garden at “6 Green Bank.”
