TALBOT701

M^r Dawson Turner avails himself with much pleasure of the permission that he has received thro’ M^r Hooker ¹ to offer to M^r Talbot a copy of the Muscologia Hibernica. ² He rejoices very sincerely in M^r Talbot’s attachment to botanical pursuits, & particularly to the study of the mosses, a family which, tho’ from their minuteness generally overlooked, deserves to be reckoned among the most wonderful & beautiful of the production of the Divine hand in vegetable Life. If in this, or any other Branch of botany, M^r Turner can ever be of assistance to M^r Talbot, he assures him it will always be a pleasure to him to be so employed. –
