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 –
Yrs Aff
