My dear Henry

Will you give me you [sic] advice about Books for Botanical purposes to take with us to Nice – We propose sojourning there till Lucy ² is able to enjoy a further Tour therefore some Italian Flora w^d be best – Any hints w^d be so very very agreeable particularly as to localities excursions &c, &c, &c, &c,

We intend bringing home dried plants & live ones in short to make a perfect trading voyage. Health is the grand object but I hope sincerely that will be speedily gained –

Love to M^rs Talbot ³ &c

Believe me yours very afly
Jane H. Nicholl

We go next week the 23^rd so pray be quick & direct to Belgrave Square.
