From Heneage Gibbes   10 April 1831

Dear Sir

When keeping term at Downing I had the pleasure of being introduced to you. You will I hope excuse the liberty I take in troubling you. I have nearly completed a collection of the British grasses, and only want those mentioned on the other side, would you have the goodness to furnish me with a specimen of any of them that may be growing in the Botanic Garden. I have obtained some from the Oxford Garden but these were not growing there. Should I have any you may wish to procure, it will give me great pleasure to send them.

With apologies for thus troubling you

Believe me | yours obliged |Heneage Gibbes
