Lacock Abbey

Dear Sir

A long absence from home delayed my sending the Herberia. <1> I hope ere this you have received them in safety. Among them there are some S. American plants which appear to me likely to prove interesting. –

Believe me
Yours very truly

H. F. Talbot


Notes:

1. He probably means Sims’ Herbarium [see Doc. No: 04113]. Sims was probably Probably John Sims <sic> (1749–1831) who edited Curtis’s Botanical Magazine (1801–1826).
