William Parkinson, Loughborough, [Leicestershire], to Sir James Edward Smith, 32 Soho Square, London

Summary

Fears the specimen he sent last year of 'Stachys ambigua', gathered near Quorndon, Leicestershire, never reached Smith; offers to send it again. Pleased to see the "long promised" "English flora" is appearing, and that Smith "does not follow the example of this generation of expensive works by putting too high a price on the book".
