Letter from Amabel Hume-Campbell to Jemima Yorke. "Does one seal with black wax for an aunt?" Paoli. "I had a few rosebuds [February] from the hothouse a fortnight ago, and the gardener.... hopes to send you some shortly. No French beans are yet ripened, but we have had tolerable hot-bed asparagus. Some of the trees are cut down about the terrace, and if you please I will give orders that all who were marked near the house, and the butline from the bowling-green, shall be felled, whether Mr Brown honours us with his visit or not, but I doubt that Bowling Green Row would rather impede walking.".
