Text of Withering's letter:
Teignmouth Devon 7th Oct: -92
My dear William
I wrote you a few lines, with some plants from Malvern hills & sent them off from Cheltenham: at Bristol Holwells your sister collected some calcareous spars, and I took a view of the rocks & the river Avon from a point which I believe had not been drawn before. These were sent off from Bath, directed to you.
I remain, my dear boy, very affect'y yours
W Withering
The whole party extends their regards to you.
