My dear Henry

I hope my Little god daughter ¹ is well & that she conducted herself becomingly at the ceremony of her Xtening – let me hear of you at Birmingham if I do not see you there – I set off tomorrow & shall read Symond’s “Etudes sur les peuples libres,” ² in my way to the Chartists, that I may know how to interpret a popular movement –

I enclose an ornithogalum which is new to me chloroleuceum – from Chili and a yellow gentleman from Mexico which Lindly ³ calls Echindia I think he coined the term because it was too much trouble to determine the genus.

Y^rs very Truly
