Loose leaf torn from Henchard's notebook. Containing quotes from Cobbett's Weekly Political Register, December 18th 1824. Henchard seems to have found significant the fact that the cultivar known as Barbage Apple was discovered growing alongside a 'hay-barrack', as he has underlined it twice.
In addition he has cross-referenced the mention of the Harrison cultivar with clipping Ref. 4302/HAR.
On the reverse of the leaf is the following pencil note: "Cal F: re. Pearmain Xs." This could either be a mis-spelling of a note to call F(Fergus?) regarding a Pearmain-Cross cultivar, or a reference to another, as yet unidentified contact.
