From Frederick Temple   12 July 1856

My dear Sir

There is no immediate hurry for any comments or suggestions about Botanical Apparatus. The List will go to Press now very nearly as it is but it can be altered from time to time, say every three months. So that when ever you can help us with hints towards a definite system of teaching, or towards a complete set of apparatus, we shall be glad to avail ourselves of what you recommend.

When next I come to Hitcham I will challenge all the Parish to Trap Ball & beat them all Rector included. I am practicing [illeg.] hours a day for the purpose

yours very truly |F. Temple
