My dear Henslow
I am much obliged by your correction of my contemplated letters & also for your kindness in forwarding me the paper respecting the Vegetable competition. We discuss the subject at the Horticultural Society’s Committee on Friday & I believe shall adopt some such letters under a string a questions proposed by Mr Vernon R. As soon as issued you shall have copies. We have been busy at the [the] Society of Arts discussing the steps in reference to 1861 & have tonight agreed on minor details, so I suppose it will be again before the public soon.
Yours truly | C. Wentworth Dilke
