From H. T. Ellacombe   20 September 1830

Dear Sir

I am taking the liberty again requesting the favor of a few additions to my garden. I wish you wd let me know what I am to send to you. I believe you have one of my old Catalogues?– In the Summer I discovered near this & far away from any house Rosa alba – most of the blossoms were single – but in a few cases the petals were doubled– I shall watch next year, & forward it to Sowerby for his app.x. You have probably heard of a Plesiosaurus lately discovered in this parish– it seems different from any yet found – it comes near to the Daubuchidinen(?) My enquirer got hold of it: but it is in good hands– for he had worked very hard at it, in removing all the profusion of stone &c &c–

Pray have you no Catalogue of y ^r Garden? If you have, will you have the kindness to send me a copy– and believe me dear Sir

yours very truly & obliged | H.T.Ellacombe

P.S. I’ll thank you to direct to me at the “Coach Office, Bolt in Tun, Fleet Street” without saying anything about Bitton. It will surely reach me.
