S.S. [Soho Square] April 29 88
Dear Sir
We have a project here which I fancy will be spedily put into execution, to publish the Plants of thy Flower [?] at Kew in numbers, which made me prefer to any other as by that means the publication will go on as long as it succeeds and consequently an opportunity remain of inserting new things very soon after their first appearance
As I wish every possible success to your Fasciculi I mean to conduct it with every possible attention to you and as you in your stay here last summer took drawings of most of our best Plants to interfere as little as is in my power with your publication of them
As the work is intended to be ultimately compleat we shall be obligd probably some time or other to publish many of these you have got but we may as we mean as seldom as possible to anticipate your publication as often as possible to delay our Figure of a plant till a considerable time after you have published yours provided you do not delay too long that is for several years your publication of them
To enable me to manage this I must request you to put me in possession of a list of your drawings
