My dear Sir,

In a parcel of German and Hungarian
plants recently received from
M. Reichenbach, fils, I find the enclosed
letter directed to your care, and therefore
take the liberty of enclosing it to
you, being right glad of the opportunity 
and excuse thereby afforded me, 
of addressing you, which I have not
had the pleasure of doing for a long time.

I heard nothing more of Buckley
after I wrote to you in relation
to him, although immediately on getting
your letter of Sepr. [September] last, speaking
favourably of him, I replied to his communication
and told him that I was
perfectly willing to aid him, and liberally
