From J. D. Hooker 31 July 1878
Royal Gardens Kew
July 31/78
Dear Darwin
The Trifolium is T. striatum— the Amphicarpea A. monoica, the common U. States one—1
Dyer took the other queries to answer, &, he tells me has answered them—2 the above should have gone with them.
My wife left to day for Pendock, & I follow this day week & after a few days visit in N. Wales we go on to Dublin.3 Huxley tells me he will give no address to his section & I applaud his resolution—4 I think that even he soon will find that the power of giving addresses is exhaustible & that he will be reduced to a state of nudity— the address becoming no dress.
I am at my wit’s end for a subject for the Anniveray of Royal.5
Ever affy Yrs | J D Hooker
