To Thomas Martin 14 October 1854

My dear Sir,

I am much obliged by the 6 Cards you have sent me which I will put forward; & insert the 1st Prize Man for “superior cultivation of allotments” – as 3 of them, for the last 3 years, reserving the other for the 3 years to come – please God I am alive to fill them up. The cards for the Ploughing Matches I have had framed in a circular black frame.

Thanks for the engravings which will find their way into one of my Scrap books–

Yours very sincerely

J. Henslow
