          begins printing both the new vol. [volume] 
 of Prodromus & the Geogr. Bot. [Geographical Botany].


 I had hoped that the former 
 was already nearly printed.


 DC. [De Candolle] has been to England, &
 has left his son with Berkeley 
 at school to learn English. 


 I will enclose his letter, 
 but pray return it at once. 


 Both Jane & I are perfectly 
 delighted with our visit. 
 Perhaps she will write a line 
 to add. But her hands are 
 very full, so are mine, 
 all the letters I write for 3
 weeks now will be mere snatches. 


 Our joint & separate love 
 to all. Don't fail to send 
 my wife's umbrella.


 Yours ever
 A. Gray
