To A. S. Wilson 6 March 1878
Down
March 6th. 1878
Dear Sir
I am much obliged for the Essays—that on Turnip seed I know—and the other which I hope soon to read, and for the magnificent supply of seeds of Ægilops.—1 Some are now put to germinate, and these may probably turn out very interesting with respect to a special point in regard to the growth of radicles, to which I have lately been attending.2 Rimpau was despatched yesterday.3
With many thanks | Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin
