Dear Sir

Should your extensive Herbarium not be complete with respect to the plants of Hungary, I can if you desire it procure you any or all of the plants described by Waldstein & Kitaibel <1> from a botanist at Munich, in return for British specimens which you might send him. I beg my compliments to Lady Smith <2> and remain

Dear Sir Yours most truly
Henry F. Talbot
