From G. C. Oxenden 8 July [1862]1
Dear Sir
This post brought me many letters—& when an hour afterwards I sought for your’s, that I might reply to it, it was missing, & I have not yet found it—2
Thus, I forget the address of Mr Wollaston, & cannot write to you there—3
for this reason also, I have this day sent you a few spikes of “Epipactus palustris” addressed to Bromley as usual— I hope they will reach you ’ere entirely faded—
Lastly, I sent, in a separate parcel, a little Book which I have just published— which I trust may make you laugh—4
Sincerely | G. C. Oxenden
