Lacock Tuesday
15 April
My Dear Constance
I had to wait some time at the Station owing to the Easter holidays;
I was just going to read a few chapters of Job, as being highly appropriate when the bell rang & the train hove in sight.
I have planted the Veronica in a border in the middle garden –
There is a most beautiful Tropæolum <Smithii?> in the Conservatory, it is the finest plant we ever rais’d of the kind – I never saw it in any other garden.
This year we have got the true Tropæolum <azureum?> from Barr in London. Last year the Dutchman cheated us.
I expect the flowers to be pale blue.
Adieu
Your affte
Henry
