Dear Henry

When are you coming I have received some interesting seeds from Sicily. Some would interest you but I do not know whether you wish for them at Lacock, they are from Prof. Tineo ² who says his garden is much enriched & improved with buildings – how they get the money I wonder.

I am not going to Dorsetshire till 5^th of April – it sounds ominous staying exactly to quarter day, Ld Eliots ³ Spanish motion being on the 29^th – but I cannot get away before.

Have you heard of Arnotts ⁴ new economical steam apparatus? it will lower the price of coals wonderfully.
