Summary:

Sending Jamaica and Singapore moss; plants in flower in ARW's pond and garden, letters from son William, who is working on a railway [in America]; purchase of land by the Parish [at Hurstpierpoint]; convolvulus. Notes: When first listed this was were in a brown cardboard box in the form of a book, entitled "Letters" on spine, containing miscellaneous apparently unrelated letters and photos; it seems more appropriate here.
