To W. T. Thiselton-Dyer [before 24 August 1877]1
Down, | Beckenham, Kent. | Railway Station | Orpington. S.E.R.
My dear Dyer,
Many thanks for your offer of young Dionæas, but as we have 33 our supply is ample.2 There is however another plant which I should be very glad of viz Cassia mimosoides which might be sent together with the Robinia if it recovers.3 Do you think Mr Lynch would like for me to give him a couple of my books, as it is the only way I can think of to show my obligation to him.4 If so which books do you think I had better send? You can let me know at any future time.
With many thanks | Yours sincerely | Ch. Darwin
