To J. H. Balfour   11 November 1850

My dear Sir,

I was musing in my head that you had accidentally copied my inadvertent admission of Lindley’s first inaccurate statement of Genera & Species – but I see you were more cautious – Pray excuse me – I know how easy mistakes are propagated & always feel obliged by the correction of any I have made myself– Pray don’t trouble your-self to apply to Dr Elghorn if you do not happen to have a duplicate specimen of the Boehmeria – I am just starting for Ipswich to attend a lecture to night by Henfrey at our Museum there on Cryptogamic Botany–

Yr ^s very truly | J.S Henslow
