To T. C. Eyton 8 June 1858

Hitcham Bildeston Suffolk

8 June 1858

My dear Eyton,

Is there a probability of the box referred to in the enclosed containing the Birds you were so kind as to offer me when I was in Cambridge. If so would you be so good as to drop the Station Master a line and say so. I suspect you may have put Norfolk instead of Suffolk on the address for he addresses me as at Hitcham, Norfolk. I have written to him to say I so often receive packets of Natural History Specimens that I suspect this mysterious Box may contain some - & have advised his forwarding it to the station at Hadleigh Suffolk.

I have begun a successful campaign with my Village Botanists who are more eager than ever. I had 43 volunteers out yesterday.

Yrs very truly

J. S. Henslow
