Price feels he must write to thank Prain for the very kind letter he wrote a few days ago. He feels very honoured to think that, in Prain's opinion, his services can at any time be of use to RBG Kew. As it happens it is his ambition to start work at RBG Kew again in the near future. Unfortunately at present he is rather tied up as he is trying to sell his property at Chepstow. Once this is done, he and his wife intend on moving permanently to London. He will then be quite free to come to Kew to work on whatever Prain thinks advisable. He still has his Formosa [Taiwan] collection to work out but he would not like to give all his time to this. Perhaps when he is next in London Prain might grant him an interview and give him the benefit of his advice. With reference to the lily he sent with the orchid collection, he sees now after reading Mr Grove's article in the GARDENERS' CHRONICLE, that he ought to have labelled it L.[Lilium] philippinense var formosanum 'altitudinous form'. When he returns home he will send a capsule of the seed of this plant. Annotated. Pages 1 and 4 of 4.
