Dear Sir
As a naturalist I take the liberty of writing to you begging you will excuse my freedom in this respect I propose to you an exchange in Dried specimens of British plants hoping that some of our Richmond Plants will be acceptable to you, I sent you last autumn by Mast. r Hutton Macmichael a small specimen of Melampyrum montanum of Johnstons Flora of Berwick I think it is a distinct species but it was a bad specimen I having given away the best I had by me before he was in Richmond, but I can procure abundance of it this year if it will be acceptable to you – I insert below a list of my desiderata, also some of our rarer Richmond plants which I can procure, should this proposal meet your approbation I shall be glad to hear from you soon as the spring is fast advancing.
I am Dear Sir yours &c– | James Ward Druggist Richmond York s.
