Summary
Informing him that he intends to proceed with the drawings for Mrs. Hervey's book (i.e., Juvenile calendar and zodiac of flowers) without further delay, and asking Hall if he could lend him a book on flowers that might assist him, as "this is rather late in the year to get anything of the sort 'from nature'", adding, "I shall feel obliged if you can assist me, as in making the sketch to day for the 'March' part, the want of the flowers was a stumbling block in my way."
