My dear Knights
I suspect the boxes contain 12 Reams of Herbarium Paper from Bristol - some of which is for the Museum. I find plenty to do on getting back & my Curate is off for a holiday. I will come over as soon as I can & you are ready for me. I have now seen proofs of all my Diagrams & hope they will soon be out. Tell Dr Drummond we had a batter on Wednesday in Hitcham Wood & the children found 55 specimens of Birds Nest Orchis for which I gave them 1/2d a piece! They are working hard at drying specimens & I have distributed all the old Newspapers he sent me.
Yrs very truly
J. S. Henslow
