My Dear Sir

I return you M^r Ellice’s letter. ¹ I believe the affair ² remains in statu quo, for the present, but the Chancellor of the Exchequer ³ expresses himself very favourably – I believe I mentioned that my residence in Town is not Harley S^{t 4} but 31 Sackville S^{t 5} –

I like very much M^r Gardner’s ⁶ description of his tour of the Organ Mountains ⁷ – He describes distinctly & vividly – What a beautiful country it must be!

I am sorry that Zoology & Botany sh^d be mixed up together in the same journal I suppose it cannot be helped.

Believe me Very truly yours
H. F. Talbot
