To J. D. Hooker 25 [April 1867]1
Down
25th.
My dear Hooker
I was very much grieved at your not appearing on Sunday. I sincerely hope you did not fail on account of the baby.2
You were so kind as to offer your bed in Paris to our boys.3 Is the offer yet open? & for how long? Can you also tell us where they cd get additional beds & how live as cheaply as you said.
I sent to Fritz Müller in S. Brazil yr Genera Plantarum—which he has found extremely useful. He says he observes that you have not examined the seeds of Schizolobium & Norantea & he says he should have much pleasure in supplying you with any specimens of S. Brazilian plants.4
Can you spare me a copy of yr. Insular Floras for I should like to send him one from you as I am sure he would appreciate it.5
It was a very gt. disappointment to me not seeing you on Sunday.
Yrs affectionately | C. Darwin
