Lacock Abbey
March 8th
My Dear Sir
I have enclosed your letter to Lord Lansdowne, 1 with a strong recommendation from myself to the same effect, but I fear much that the time of the Ministry 2 is so much taken up by politics, owing to the extremely precarious tenure of office which they have, that they will not be able to give it the due consideration which it deserves. It would be a pity indeed if Kew Gardens 3 were to be sacrificed to a pitiful & false economy.
Believe me Ever truly yours
H. F. Talbot
In haste to save the post.
