My dear Dyer
You are much too good & take much too great trouble for me. I am really ashamed when I see how many notes you must have written about the seeds of Trifolium resupinatum.—2 My work is not worth the loss of so much of your time, but I am grateful to you, for I shd. have been very sorry to have missed having plants this summer.
Ever yours sincerely | Ch. Darwin
Thanks about the Clematis.—3
Frank started of hour ago for Strasburg.—4
