am truly sensible of your goodness in this particular, 
and very much gratified to find so many among 
them called after botanists, some of whom I know. 
These are precious objects, and will always bring 
you to my mind, as the communications of your 
friend Davall bring him present to you. 
I often go with you to visit the Salicetum of your 
late friend Mr. Crowe*, see with pleasure the stream 
which flows by it, adorned with Mymphea ; visit in 
my way Verbascum pulverulentum, and collect the 
Scabious in passing through the churchyard. I 
live over again the happy days I passed at Norwich, 
and enjoy anew the pleasure I felt in witnessing the 
domestic felicity of my friends there. That it may 
long continue is my anxious and ardent wish. 
I pray you to make my respects acceptable to 
your mother and your lady. I ardently wish the 
continuance of your health ; all other wishes are su- 
perfluous, as they cannot add to your enjoyments : 
yet minds like yours may receive some satisfaction 
that even I rejoice in your prosperity. I do not 
forget any of my friends in Norwich, where every 
day of my sejour was albo lapde notari dignus. 
I salute you with affectionate respect, and am, 
My dear Sir, 
Your truly obliged, 
Wo. D. Peck. 
* James Crowe, Esq. of Lakenham House.
