...mail, I do myself the pleasure of sending you as many of the flower-rods you were pleased to
write for, as I had at the time your kind letter came to hand; also some red and white Globe Artichoke, Early Cabbage and
a small variety of Flower-Seeds &c. which, I solicit the favour of your accepting as a token of my best wishes.
