From R. G. Latham   21 September 1842

Dear Sir,

I left with Simms of the Anatomical Museum a specimen of Festuca Elatior (so I think) ergotted. I found it by the brookside, in the last field through which the Brooklands water runs, before and across the road that leads from Trumpington to the Hills Road. Six years ago I found the same ergot on Lolium perenne at the observatory gravel pits.

With kind remembrance to your nephew Young, when you see him,

Believe me dear Sir | ever very faithfully yours |

R. G. Latham
