Dear Mr. Wallace

I am glad to have an excuse for sending you a line. The enclosed has come to me anonymously. I hope your health continues good, and that you are able to enjoy your plants &c. At Kew the other day I was looking — in the Rock Garden — at some Pinguiculas which Mr. Baker's¹son Edmund² has just brought back from beyond Dingle in Co. Kerry and got into conversation with a gentleman who I afterwards found was W. Churchill.³[2] He was spending a month at Kew. A Himalaya Lily is in magnificent blossom in the Bamboo garden — I think for the first time at Kew. I do not remember the name — but one with very broad un-lily-like looking leaves. It must be quite 8 ft high.

I need hardly say — if you should be coming to that part of the world we should be as glad as ever to see you at Richmond. I suppose we shall be away for a month from about the middle of August —

With kind regards | Yours very truly | Edwd Bennett⁴ [signature]
