He thanks Robinson for thinking of him and will enjoy Robinson’s delightful ‘English Flower Garden’; it will one day be of real use to him when he retires to his cottage; Mr Scott Wilson took Buckston Browne to his father’s garden near Weybridge [Oakwood, later RHS Garden Wisley] and Robinson’s book contains much that will remind him of the glories he saw there
