Dear Sir,
I feel highly flattered by your offer to propose me for the Linnean Society and gladly avail myself of that offer.
By Mr F. Dobson I send you seeds of Nymphaea alba raised by myself and have given him full instructions as to the best method of growing them. They flowered beautifully this year.
Have you [...]?1 if you have not, I will send seeds or plants next season.
Yours sincerely
Morton Allport
