From Robert Graham   17 July 1830

My Dear Sir

Allow me to introduce to you Mr Paul Emile Maurice of Geneva, a particular friend of Alphonse De Candolle, who did me the favour to give him a letter to me– He is travelling through Britain chiefly to inspect our architecture & machinery, & I am desirous that through your kindness he should have an opportunity of seeing the beauties of Cambridge– May I beg that you will show to him some of that polite attention you so liberally bestowed upon me–

I have not forgotten the wishes you expressed when I was at Cambridge to have some things that I am happy to think I can give you, & if the Nepenthes & Sonchus cœruleus were less bulky I could send them by Mr. Maurice– Both the male & female Nepenthes are again in flower, & I hope notwithstand our having fine April weather in July, that we shall ripen another crop of seed–

Have the kindness to present my best compliments to Mrs. Henslow, & believe me

Yours most truly | Rob. ^t Graham
