My dear Baron
Again to trouble you —
I enclose a small specimen of a plant I found growing on my estate in Spring Water and would be glad to know what it is, and its value
The stock seem so fond of it that I had difficulty in obtaining even the poor specimens I enclose
It is not for want of feed that they keep this close as there was plenty of grass and clover in the same paddock
Yours faithfully
Frank Madden
