My dear Henry

I have such beauties of Flowers in blossom, that I wish you were here to admire them I enclose you a Leaf, which I want to know what it is – I can make nothing of it but Polypodium vulgare, but Withering does not allow that any one of them are in fructification in this month – Send me word directly, I am trying to make out some Mosses, but the Hypnums are most complex –
