Summary
Praising his description of a collection, but noting that it cannot be published. Asking him not to visit her in the country at present, as the rest of the family will be away and they might spend all their time with the flowers and let the house keeping go to waste, noting "it would be dreadful to have it said we spent our time foolishly."
