Dear Mrs Wallace2

I sent you a telegram this morning but am not sure whether you get them at Broadstone on a Sunday: anyhow you will have it early to- morrow [sic]. You sent me a very nice spray of leaves & I hope that the next flower may travel down successfully & reach me to- morrow [sic]. or Tuesday morning. It is sure to open in water if cut a day before it expands. The leaves are very distinct, quite unlike those of any other [2] rose, & it is in many ways a most interesting species –

Thanking you for your kind help[.]

I am yours very truly | Alfred Parsons3 [signature]
