Cambridge
6 December 1826
Sir,
Dr Daubeny has informed me that you are in the habit of preparing fasciculi of dried cryptogamic plants for sale, & I take the opportunity of his return to Oxford, to request you will favour me with a copy – I enclose what he tells me is the price, & by that if you happen not to have one ready prepared that you will delay sending it until it may be convenient to you. If I can be of any service in procuring for you any local species found in this neighbourhood (either of phanerogamous or cryptogamous species) I shall be very happy to assist you – so soon as spring returns I intend to continue an active search for plants with which I have already commenced, with a view to a new edition of our Flora–
Y r faithful | J. S. Henslow
My address
Rev d Professor Henslow | Cambridge
I met with [Aecidium Primi ?] in abundance last June which Greville says is rare, & if you want specimens for your fasciculi I will search for it again in the same spot
Mr Baxter | Botanic Garden | Oxford
