From W. E. Leach   31 May 1827

My dear Friend,

I have sent through the hands of my old and kind friend D ^r Goodall some Plants that I have collected in my journey. I intend to collect some more for you during the approaching Summer and will transmit them to England by the earliest opportunity.

Should you have any duplicate Shells, you will very much oblige me by sending them when occasion occurs to my agent M ^r Huneman 9 Queens St. Frith St. Soho London.

I remain my very dear Friend as ever your affectionate sincere and very grateful Friend | William Elford Leach
