Oct. 1st
My dear Sir
I am very much obliged for your satisfactory answers to my questions.—2
I am ashamed to say so, but if you are in the Isle of Wight, I shd. certainly be very glad to see the result of some more trials.3 The result would probably throw light on the use of the labellum in many exotic orchids.—
My dear Sir | Yours sincerely & obliged | Ch. Darwin.
