Dear Henry -

Where are you?

I shall soon be going to Frankfort. Tell me which is the region of the high Alps best worth visiting in a botanical point of view, nearest to Frankfort - I must not be in Switzerland or Italy, as I may not pass the bounds of the Ger: Confederation - & which is the best month for the Alpine Flora, which I have never seen.

I breakfasted with Bunsen ² yesterday who enquired much after you on the part of Lepsius - who I find is son of the Gothic Antiquarian of Saxony ³ He has sent Bunsen some very pretty drawings a View from the top of the pyramid - & a copy of an inscription in Hieroglyphs in praise of the King & Prussia which they have set up inside.

Do you belong to the Camden Society ⁴ of Cambridge they might print some of your old MSS - very well - I wrote to you some time ago to tell you of the calotype copy of the Chinese Treaty ⁵ made at the F.O. ⁶

Lepsius I believe wants some Calotype paper -

When do you come up?
