    Your plants are all doing very well, are flowering, the three calceolaria’s you planted are growing beautifully, one just off shew, one coming on and the other growing most luxuriantly in consequence of the part that would have made the flower being nipped off. They look such rum little things. I send you a drawing of one, the size of life and more natural.
    I have enquired about Morgan’s room and find three rooms may be had there. I have not yet seen the others but am to call next week to look at them and hear all particulars. And so my dear Jack until I write again or till I see you I remain your affectionate
    Brother
    M. E. Cotman.
