My Dear Sir,

I shall be very much obliged to
you if you will deliver the enclosed letter
and the accompanying parcel free of expense
to Dr Torry, who in the most liberal and
kind manner has lent me specimens for
the abridged edition of my Arboretum which
are returned in the parcel. I trust you have
received the books and that you will soon
send an order for more. I had the pleasure
of seeing Miss Thorburn about I think three weeks
ago, who had then completely recovered.

Yours in great haste

J. C. Loudon

G. Thorburn Esg.
