| Title | Letter from William Upcott, 102 Upper St., Islington, to Charles Hatchett |
| Creator | Upcott; William (1779-1845); British antiquary and autograph collector |
| Recipient | Hatchett; Charles (1765-1847); British chemist |
| Date | 28 May 1836 |
| Description | It seems that they were of a mind, as soon as he had sent Hatchett a catalogue of his original letters, manuscripts and state documents, he received Hatchett's pamphlet on the spikenard of the ancients. He is flattered by Hatchett's remembrance and invites him to view any element of his collection, by sending him a note any morning. It may fall to Hatchett to speak of its merits in the future, to see it safely deposited in a library. In a postscript, he draws attention to 'The Bible Garden' by Joseph Taylor, which gives a brief mention of Nardus indica. |
