My dear Sir

I have just received a letter from the Palmer1 stating that the lemon scented Ironbark is not yet in flower but that as soon as it does flower I shall receive some specimens which I shall of course send to you I send by todays post a few either new things or new for habitats2 hoping to hear soon your obliged
