From Richard Leyland   2 February 1829

Rev. Sir

I embrace the present opportunity of sending to you a few Yorkshire Insects and will thank you to present one half of them to the Philosophical Society of Cambridge and the other to the Rev. L. Jennings and if that Gentleman would favour me with a few of the Cambridgeshire Insects it would greatly oblige me. The following I learn through the medium of Stevens [sic] Work on British Entomology are not unfrequent in your neighbourhood and would be very acceptable here viz. Panageus Crux major— Pamphila comma -Smerinthus Tilia - Sphinx Ligustri & Elpenor.

I beg you to accept my thanks for your kind offer of Cambridgeshire Plants, any of the more rare species you can spare would be very acceptable to me. I shall also be happy to receive your list of desiderata to which I shall pay proper attention — — — —

I frequently receive parcels from Longman & C ^o. Booksellers London and when you have any thing to send to me — if you can get it conveyed to them it will soon reach me.

I am S ^ir | Your obdt Servant | R. Leyland
