Summary
Saying that he hesitates to recommend a landscape gardener, "as in the course of my experience I have never met with one that in my opinion had all the requisite qualifications"; mentioning a "Mr. Nesfield" (probably William Andrews Nesfield) favorably; adding "Loudon as you probably know has a great reputation but I have never seen any of his works"; recommending "Ramsay at Queens Elms Battersea" for his "taste and reasonable charges."
