My dear Henry,

I do really think you have behaved abominably in never sending us one line to say that you arrived safe in Town or were killed by the way. I have a great mind never to take any notice of you, since mathematics or anything else could make you forget us. We have been Home about a fortnight, we had a pleasant Tour on the whole. I found several rare plants about Aberpergwm which made me <illegible deletion> very sorry that you had not gone on with us that far – we did not go up Pen Craigy Llyn vawr but we might have done so had we had time. I got Poly^m Dryopteris & Hymenophyllum Tunbidgense <sic> at <illegible> Cynon Garn & a Pinguicula besides several Mosses a Bartramia I never got before – I lost all the Mosses which has nearly broken my Heart. At New Bridge I got several other rare plants – the little Campanula hederacea covered the wet banks on the side of the Garth Mountain in the most beautiful blossom – I cannot now recollect any others but I don’t think you deserve a very to hear anything about us.

We found M^r Buckland ¹ at Merthyrmawr, ² you see you lost a great chat by not staying with us.

your aff Cos.

J. H. Talbot.

November 1^st

what fine November weather.
