My dear Henry

I send you a packet which may interest you I have some seeds also for you but they will keep

Everybody believes me to be somewhere about the 46^th Parallel ¹ on my way home which is an erroneous notion – I was much pleased with your list of successes at Lacock & hope it may be encreased – do you cultivate the genus Hibiscus – which I think very handsome tho there is a sameness in the flowers –

I send you some Irises – Dii vortant bene ² – pray cultivate all the sorts you can get – I. graminea is scarce in England.

Lord Ponsonby ³ has been dawdling so long we do not know what is the meaning of it – as soon as he comes I have leave to start.

My love to Caroline ⁴ & Horatia ⁵
