Sir
We beg to send the invoice of plants – all of which we trust you may receive safely, and to your approbation. Lapagerie rosæ is 2 guineas per plant, so we omitted it. Ipomœa pandurata we are sold out of our large plants – which the small ones are not quite strong enough maturing, returning you our kind thanks and waiting for your further commands.
We beg to remain Sir your very obt. Servants
