London
June 4. 1834
Dear Sir
I send you a specimen of Phacelia tanacetifolia & 2 others which perhaps may be interesting. – I hope you received 3 Nos of Bertoloni’s Flora Italica <1> which I sent a month or two ago. –
I believe I am indebted to you £7··1··6 for Drummond’s <2> plants viz.
1· | 6· | 0 |
3· | 3· | |
2· | 12· | 6 |
7· | 1· | 6 |
which therefore I beg to enclose you, & I am glad to say that I have raised one species from seeds picked off a specimen, & got it to flower. –
Believe me Yours very truly
H. F. Talbot
