Scope and content
19 Carleton Road, Tufnell Park, N. - Was introduced to Quaritch by William Simpson at the last Omar Khayyám Club dinner. Has had reports from Thiselton Dyer about the condition of the rose-tree at Kew, grown from the hip sent by Simpson [from the one at Omar Khayyám's tomb]. It is a 'weakling in this climate, but by skilful grafting' a plant has been secured which Clodd 'long ago suggested should be placed on FitzGerald's grave at Boulge'.
Asks if Quaritch could come to see this done on Sunday 7th October; offers to host him until Monday morning at Aldeburgh.
