To William Henry Fox Talbot 16 February 1837

Down Cottage Clifton

Thursday

Sir,

If I am not taking too great a liberty might I beg for another specimen of your yellow pink – in order to get a drawing made of it for a new periodical which is to appear next month & to w h.. I have promised to be an occasional contributor– I have shewn the other specimens to several Botanists who are all unacquainted with it. A few root leaves on a stalk w d. be acceptable with the specimens– I can call for it at any place where you may be able to leave it most conveniently–

Y rs very faithfully | J S Henslow
