My dear Father

I have got yr messages & will do them all square—¹ There was a bigger sediment in the “cleaned” dish—but it is not soluble in ether.² The teasels are all planted out & the case will be done tomorrow.³

Lettington is gone this morning for Drosera—⁴

I have made another big pot of mixture; the seeds have sprouted & he has begun watering—

I am glad you approve of the Nature letter.⁵ Here is a nice letter from Romanes⁶   Babs⁷ is all right: on Sat he lay on his back on a rug under the limes & roared with laughter looking up into the branches. We had a beautiful day for Atty & the D’Arcys⁸   On Sat Jimi and I dined at the Nashes to meet Moreley who spent sunday there⁹   They get on first rate I think.

This is written in an awful hurry

Good bye dearest father | your affec son | Frank

Please thank mother with my love for the key   I will give her messages to Mary Ann¹⁰
