Dear Henry

I hope you arrived all well at Lacock & that Country air will do you all good –

I have received bulbs from Aleppo apparently a poor selection but with names in Arabic – How can I send you any – or any other thing safely? – I have also cones of Pinus canariensis.

Lindley ¹ has got a fine Herbarium of new New holl^{d 2} plants from Maj^r Mitchell ³ some beautiful Epacris, a lovely Tetratheca, & Correas & an eatable nut like an Osyris alba! enlarged –
