TALBOT160

Dear Henry

I introduce to you hereby the Cav^re Ricciardi a Neapolitan gentleman who is come to stay some time in London. His father C^t Camaldoli’s Villa ¹ above Naples I think you must remember, & his son has also a taste for botany – If you can help him to see London, or the gardens round – I think you will find that he takes an interest in that branch of Natural Hist^y. His fathers collection I think I have often mentioned to you – it is much the finest at Naples – he will probably have some botanical commission for him –

Your Aff^te
