Honoured Sir

I have the pleasure of sending you a few dried specimens of , in the cotyledon state. I could not send more of & spe

specimens? or species?

from N. W Australia at present, but there is a few more of them comming on so I hope to be able to send more later on. I keep a note of the number of each sort sent so that if there is not enough from the first sowing I hope to make them up in the second sowing. I would like to send you from 6 to 8 specimens of each species in the cotleydon

cotyledon?

state and as many in the perfect leaf state If you think that number would be sufficient

I hope this first effort is to your satisfaction

Trusting you are in good health

I remain Dear Sir

Your humble Servant
