The Hungerford Family Foundation, Inc. - THFFI.org - 1846 ___ __ John Hungerford Arkwright to his mother Susan (Hoskyns) Arkwright re Lachenalia tricolor flowers

John Hungerford Arkwright (EN912) sent his mother Sarah (Hoskyns) Arkwright (EN806d) this letter as a young man in 1846.

The text:

My dear Mamma

I suppose you will excuse a long letter as I am in a great hurry. I guess this small tin parcel will reach you, just about reading time, and I dare say there will be a short pause to view this beautiful orchid which I send you with best love to add to your flower stock. It is an American one, and I bought it some time ago and it has turned out as you see, I have a large pot full of them. With very best love I remain forever affectionate & dutiful son. John H. Arkwright. (Annotated in pencil = Lachenalia tricolor [flowers] Also annotated with "46" for the date sent.)
