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.

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
