My Dear W^m

We are going to London next Wednesday to see the great exhibition ² and I hope you will not be gone before then, but I just write a line to enquire whether we are likely to find you in Town. The only botanical news I have heard for a considerable time was that contained in your last letter ³.

There is a certain Dutch Baron who sells rare bulbs remarkably cheap – many really good things being priced only a penny. He was recommended to us by a lady who has a beautiful garden in this neighbourhood, so I have ordered a quantity of things to be sent in the Autumn. Would you like to see his Catalogue?

Yours aff^tly
Henry Talbot
