I EETTJEN with this, Mr. Wedgwood's letter, and his plan for an Horticultural 

 Society. I approve veiy much of the idea : I know of no trade that conceals so many 

 valuable branches of knowledge as that of a gardener, and few subjects where the 

 public will be more benefited by the disclosures which such a society will immediately 

 occasion. I shall be flattered if the gentlemen who are to arrange the plan do me 

 the honour to set me down as an original member. 



I am. Sir, 

 Your very Humble Servant, 



JOHN WEDGWOOD.
