TALBOT1461

Dear Henry

I hope you got all the letters I directed to Basle. I have got for you the Ezekiel Louis 25 (frame included) & ordered the Correggio ¹ i.e. – provisionally, as it cannot be done yet – from Wallis ². There is a very good Magdalen by a ³ for L. 20 – which is not dear & I think would tempt you if you saw it. Have you any design of visiting Egypt or Greece next winter. I have a trunk full of books John ⁴ sent back – but which might be useful to you also if you came this way – such as Larchers Herodotus ⁵ – Plin. Nat hist. ⁶ – Anarcharsis ⁷ – Anastasius. ⁸ – & many others.These I would not send home if I thought they might be useful to anybody I knew coming out. I wish we had looked over them when you were here. I have found out Euph ⁹. chamaesyce at last. I have found it before but passed it over as a Parietaria or some such nonsense. I have also made out E. Esula.
