Sir,
In accordance with the intimation conveyed in your letter of the 22nd of May last, that the Lords of the Council had accepted my offer to prepare for presentation to Parliament Reports on Insects Injurious to Hop Plants, Corn Crops, Fruit Crops, and Root Crops, I have the honour to forward the first Report of this series: namely, Insects Injurious to Hop Plants.
I am now engaged on the Reports relating to Insects Injurious to Corn Crops and Fruit Crops, which will, I hope, shortly be ready. The Report upon Insects Injurious to Root Crops will be finished early next year.
I have, Sir, the honour to be,
Your obedient servant,
Charles Whitehead.
