My dear Henry

I suppose you are not going to be always at the Gog & Magog’s Arms ^<1> so I direct to Lacock –

I should very much like to see some day a specimen of your new Sympathies in ink. ^<2>

Those secrets are now generally given up, for cyphers which are found more certain & convenient.

While I must live in London I mean to visit all the Nurseries round in search of plants which I see in Foreign gardens & cannot find here.

Do you know Sedum lividum? & saxatile? – How come you in Wales when all Wales ^<3> is at Cowes? ^<4> – & coming to Abb ^<5> – Give me news from Nice I met Lady Glengall ^<6> in the Street who wants to know all about them I am afraid their time must be uncomfortable there –

Y^rs Aff
