From Leonard Jenyns 1858

My dear Henslow,

I found your letter here on Saturday, on my return from Ampney to take my Sunday duty. It appears to have crossed one I wrote to you last week before leaving home.— I am glad you are willing to let Anny be with Elizabeth at Bath during the Winter: the arrangement may be of rejoice ofof service to both parties;-- & if you can bring her yourself to Bath I shall hope to see something of you at that time.—

I have enclosed a plant, (-in pieces- but still a whole plant,) which is one of several specimens George gathered near Anglesea, where he speaks of it as tolerably plentiful, & brought with him when he came the other day. –Is it not the Silene nutans? –I can make it out to be nothing else. Let me know when you write again.—I am glad my book on Meteorology meets your approval.—

I must now conclude in haste, as I am on the point of setting out again for Cirencester.—We shall probably both be home again the end of next week, —but hope to get to Weymouth for the month of September.

With love to the girls,

Ever your’s affect ^ly. |L. Jenyns.
