From H. T. Stainton   2 July 1859

Dear Sir

I was glad to see your new list of Hitcham plants.

I now fulfill a sort of promise I made you at Cambridge last year of sending a few more copies of ‘June’ for use as prizes etc.

I am in hopes you will have a fine day on Wednesday; there was a School feast here last Tuesday & the rain came down most unmercifully— I am however personally interested in the weather on Wednesday next as a large party of Entomologists are going to spend the day at Reigate & favourable weather is a most desirable addition to the programme.

Believe me, Dear Sir | yours very truly | H. T. Stainton
