To J. D. Hooker 31 May 1877
Down, | Beckenham, Kent. | Railway Station | Orpington. S.E.R.
May 31. 1877
My dear Hooker,
I am very much obliged for the two packets of seeds & shall be glad if you can get me the others.1 But after doing this I earnestly beg you to take no other trouble whatever, as I well know how much overworked you are. If you will speak to Dyer or Mr Smith about lending me such plants as I may require I will communicate with them early in July.2
Many thanks for the list of plants with bloom, & I again repeat take no more trouble. You have omitted to complete yr final sentence beginning “Answer required when I have—’3
Yours affectionately | Charles Darwin
