From Lawson Tait 11 October 1875
7, Great Charles St. | Birmingham.
Oct 11 1875
My Dear Sir,
I have a short paper in hand on “The glandular structure and its function in pitcher plants”
Would you favour me by presenting it to the Royal Society for me?1 I would ask Dr. Hooker,2 but I do not know him. I am going over the question of the digestion principle but am far from being settled about it. Its presence is essential, but the presence of the acid is far more important.
Yours faithfully, | Lawson Tait
