To William Baxter   22 June 1830

My dear Sir

I am sorry I could not get to the Garden a second time during my short stay in Oxford – but we found that Dr Williams was not in the University, & having so many things to see I could not spare the time – I send you a few botanical memoranda – & have to beg a favor of you, which is this– Be so good as to fill the tin box which will be sent to you with this letter with wild specimens of Senecio squalidus from the walls & forward it to me – I want to dry as many as I can get – If you procure them early one morning & send them off by the Cambridge Coach at 7 oClock either Monday, Wednesday or Friday (from the Angel) I shall get them before 8 oClock in the evening & can preserve them the same day – Be careful to select such specimens as are in good flower, & without much unnecessary stalk about them, as I shall receive the same, fit for preserving – I am going out of Cambridge for 3 or 4 days after July 2 ^d & would therefore thank you to send them either before then or after July 6 ^th

Believe me | Very truly Y ^rs | J. S. Henslow

Mr Baxter | Botanic Garden | Oxford
