Brazil Expedition continues

21 Ianuali 1845


L received correspondence through the Jardim Bontanico do Rio de Janeiro from Queen Kailani (or so it appears!?)  In this correspondence, L does not mention the perils of an adventure through the rainforest in search of Brasibelia lobata growing at the base of dense Palm groves.
