My dear Cousin

You sent me a list of the names of the flowers which Elinor ¹ brought in her hand from Lacock – I wish you would come and look round our garden – She was full of the pleasure her visit to you & her cousins afforded; and of admiration of the beauties and antiquities of Lacock – Your list is marked with some queries which I sympathize with – and shall try to answer – that which you call Chinese Daisy is known at Clemenstone (from whence we had it) as the Australian daisy – its real name I hear, is Vittadenia triloba

I agree with you in Corydalis nobilis and Oxalis floribunda – and should like to have the “Tecoma jasminiodes <sic> in a pot” – only I think it might travel without its pot – and I never grudge paying the carriage of plants!

I shall be delighted to have a visit from Ela and Charles ² in August – and I only wish that Rosamond ³ could come now! Elinor would be so pleased to shew her many sketches to be made and the weather is so pleasant now our american <sic> plants are worth seeing – The Kalmias are good –

Your aff^te cousin

Emma Llewelyn
