My dear Sir
I believe that your kindness will lead you to aid me if it is in your power. I much want, for some experiments in crossing, seeds of Nolana prostrata & Hibiscus Africanus, which have been matured in Germany or in the more Southern parts of Europe, & therefore under somewhat different conditions from those of England.1 You will greatly oblige me if you can send pretty soon a few of these seeds in a letter.
With sincere good wishes believe me my dear Sir | yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin
