London 4 May 1853.
Sir
As you may have mislaid my address, I address you now to inform you that since I wrote you in answer to your kind Letter, I have met with an old schoolfellow of mine who has not long returned from Australia whence he brought some seeds, the names of which he is to get for me ere I go, some of them he says produce very fine flowers, some grow wild.
I expect my brother home in a few days when we shall get a ship and hope to sail some time this month
I remain Sir Yours truly
Tobias S. Telfer
