Thos. Ackres No 2 Royll. gard. 12 a Clock.
Thomas Ackres notifies James Petiver that he missed the messenger Petiver sent to the Royal Gardens. There is additional text on the envelope, which appears to be written in Petiver’s hand. Author’s handwriting on the envelope is largely unintelligible and therefore difficult to decipher however; it appears to be a list or inventory of plants and/or something botanical in nature.
