Sir,

Banks ¹ says he has been cleaning off the windows and pointing the walls last week –

fine showery weather just now. every thing begins to look fresh and grow vigorously

the Seniciæ of Corfu, that you have sown in the green house is in bloom. a beautiful single yellow colour grows dwarf – I have turned one pot of it out into Miss Feilding’s ² garden. ³ another I intend planting in the botanic garden

Your Ob^dt Hu^ble Serv^t
