I cannot sufficiently thank you for your very kind letter & hint about L'Heritier. Am sorry you have so much reason to think ill of him. I shall have much to say to you when we meet about the botanical party work of this town, which I do not like at all.

I have accordingly (in answer to his enquiry by Brouss:t about my return) told him that I shall be here ab:t [about] a month, I will then return to London, but I mean to give him to understand that I want to go to Norwich directly, as is
