My Dear Talbot –

Many thanks to you for the very beautiful & interesting collection of your photogenic drawings which you were so good as to send me to Edinburgh, whence they have been forwarded to me here –

I have gathered in the neighborhood several very curious varieties of the Scolopendrum vulgare, of which I shall endeavor to photograph a series when I return to Edinburgh & if I succeed will send you a copy –¹

Do you want a specimen of Triticum cristatum? it is abundant in one locality on this coast, the only station I believe for it in Britain. –

Believe me Yours most truly
W. C. Trevelyan
