My dear Father

I have examined sections of Teazle in putrid meat infusion & in ammonia; and in both saw splendid protoplasmic movements, in about 8 glands altogether.² The moving mass is always seated at the top of the gland, & when one can see accurately, exactly in the centre, where the radiating cells meet. I saw one most marvellous mass

In another what looked like a great sheet, coming exactly from the centre.

But it may have been only a rope both ends beginning at the centre   There can be no doubt I hope now— it is most extraordinary & worth any amount of work   My strong lens is ordered by Balfour³ I hear— He says the physiolog dinner “was a great success”.⁴ I hope you are getting rested.
