My dear Baron,
The enclosed sprig of Indigofera is sent by the Mayor of Koroit2 who wishes to know its name and whether it is injurious to stock. He says it is growing plentifully there.
The seeds are from Dergholm,3 "the plant has a root in color like a parsnip, with a milky sap, Leaves long, pointed, also milky, Flowers purple.
Faithfully Yours
W. Elliott
Indigofera
