From H. T. Ellacombe   30 November 1829

Dear Sir

Pray accept my best thanks for your valuable additions to my garden which reached me in good time & in excellent condition―

I am rather curious about the Single Roses:. Is R. Kamchatica of y ^r garden, which was sent R. acicularis of Lindley, pp 44-45. as in Donn's time? ― If you can assist me with any more Single Roses, I shall feel obliged - & indeed any thing good & curious, old or new which you do not observe in my Catalogue.

I have just taken up Ferns = you will see what I have, & therefore what I should be thankful for―

With this I have the pleasure to send you my Catalogue= which I should have done earlier, but it was not at home― I have not inserted y ^r late contributions― I shall be very happy to have it in my power to send you any thing you are in want of= Don't mind a long list, as it is not likely I could supply all you may require ― especially with new acquisitions― but what I cannot 'do' this season, I hope I may another―

Have you Alstroemeria Pelegrina:

My Seda are all I believe true― your S. verticillatum seems to be my S. triphyllum of Havorth.

Believe me dear sir | Yrs very truly & obliged | H. T. Ellacombe

You may be able to send something with the Catalogue when the weather will allow― In that case I'll thank you to direct as before viz Coach Office. Bolt & Tun. Fleet S ^t London―

Is there a correct catalogue of the present contents of y ^r garden?
