Sept 20 1891 The Camp Sunningdale My dear young Lion, I have received your plant, you are quite right about the Nat: Ord: but not the species. It is Solanun nigr the same genus as the potato, & very like it in infloresence & fruit though the latter is so much smaller. Then another opens by at the top as in Evice, but this you could not see without a microscope; in Atropa they open by long slits. The Caterpillar is quite well. The morning after you left I found him sulking up in the top of the box, but on the following he was eating, & has been since. Dr: King of Calcutta came here & spent the night, he returns to India on Friday. Do you remember his giving you (or rather me for you) a sovereign when he was here three years ago? Well,-he gave Dick half a sovereign this time. Reggie & Grace came home yesterday evening looking so well, they had enjoyed their holiday very much. We have been eating the plums from the garden, & they are very good I wish you were here to have some. It still rains almost every day; Beau was most dolorous the day you left-he lay on the mat at the Nursery door looking for you wistfully I suppose he found that not being in your own room, his best chance of finding you was to wait where I found him. There used to be plenty

There used to be plenty of Chenopo dum Bonus Henricus, in the waste ground near the new houses towards the end of the road in which we lodged, on the right going to Herne. It grows about two feet high, & is very green & stout. In old times it was much used as a vegetable & called "Good King Henry". I do not know why, but I will try & find out for you. It is not a very common plant, I never saw it here or at Lyme. If you should find it & send me a leaf I will see if it is right. The leaves are triangular like this only much bigger. I hope you have had some nice rides. Ever your most affectionate Old Lion. Mama sends the enclosed for Hugh to read, you may read it also.
