Dear Sir

In a letter from Bertoloni ^<1> he asks me for English Specimens of the following plants, some of which are very common, but as I have no duplicates of English plants, perhaps you could supply him – in that case I would send them to him as from you, & he would be happy to send in return some good Italian or Sicilian plants. – Have you see the first 3 n^os of his flora Italica? ^<2>

Believe me to remain Yours most truly
H. F. Talbot

My address is 31 Sackville S^{t <3>}
